Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 35 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 cup sugar added gradually
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1 cup* whipped cream for topping
  • 1 cup* fresh strawberries sliced, for topping
  • 1/4 cup* pomegranate seeds for topping
  • 2 tbsp* berry sauce for drizzling
  • 1 tbsp* powdered sugar for dusting

Method
 

  1. I start with 4 egg whites and beat them until they are light and foamy.
  2. Then I slowly add one cup of sugar, a little at a time, and keep beating until the mixture is thick and glossy, smooth, and holds its shape really well.
  3. Once it looks like this, I add 2 teaspoons of cornstarch and gently fold that in until it's well combined.
  4. Then I add 1 teaspoon of vanilla followed by 1 teaspoon of vinegar and gently fold everything together one last time.
  5. Then I put it on a baking sheet and make a round shape, leaving a little room in the middle for the toppings.
  6. I bake it long and slow until the outside is dry and crisp, then I let it cool completely.
  7. Once it's cooled, I add a generous layer of whipped cream.
  8. Then comes fresh strawberries, pomegranate, and plenty of fruit on top.
  9. It is time to add a little berry sauce and finish it with powdered sugar.
