Elevate your dessert game with this vibrant and fragrant treat.
Ingredients:
  • 100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
  • Large pinch of ground cardamom
  • Pinch of ground star anise
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 1 orange
  • 2 x 250g punnets strawberries, washed, hulled, dried, halved
  • 40.00 gm caster sugar, extra
  • 1 x 200g pkt mascarpone
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 120°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper, then mark four 8cm-diameter circles on the paper, turning it ink-side down.
  • Whisk the egg whites using an electric beater in a clean, dry bowl until firm peaks form. Gradually add sugar, whisking well after each tablespoon until sugar dissolves. Mix in the cardamom, star anise and cinnamon until the meringue is thick, glossy, and forms a long trailing peak when the beaters are lifted. Spoon the meringue onto the circles on baking paper. Bake in the oven for 1 hour until dry to the touch, then turn the oven off and let the meringues cool inside for 2 hours.
  • Peel the rind off the orange using a zester or vegetable peeler and cut into thin strips after removing the pith. Juice the orange. In a saucepan over low heat, combine orange rind, orange juice, strawberries, and extra sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes until sugar dissolves and strawberries are heated through. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • Arrange the meringues elegantly on a large serving platter. Add a generous spoonful of mascarpone and the poached strawberries on top. Finish with a drizzle of the poaching liquid and serve promptly for a delightful treat.
