Ingredients:
  • 4 eggwhites
  • 110g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 5.00 gm cornflour
  • 100g good-quality dark chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 100g blanched almonds, roughly chopped
  • 300ml thickened cream
  • 20.00 ml vanillin sugar* or 20.00 ml caster sugar with a couple of drops of vanilla extract
  • 1 punnet strawberries, sliced
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C and prepare a 25cm x 38cm shallow tray by lining it with baking paper.
  • Whip egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually incorporate caster sugar and beat until mixture is glossy. Gently fold in vinegar and sifted cornflour, followed by chocolate and almonds.
  • Spread the fluffy meringue evenly on the tray and bake until the top is perfectly crisp, about 20 minutes. Let it cool briefly in the tray, then invert onto a baking sheet or parchment paper. Once completely cooled, gently remove from the sheet or paper.
  • Whip the cream and vanillin sugar until thick. Spread over the meringue, scatter strawberries on top, and carefully roll up with the baking paper. Don't fret if the meringue cracks; it will still hold together. Serve immediately for the best taste.
