Delicious Meringue Roll with Cream and Berries

Begin by beating the egg whites in a mixing bowl at medium speed until frothy. Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to beat the mixture. Once the sugar is incorporated, add the vinegar and switch to maximum speed.

Beat the mixture for about 5 minutes, or until it achieves a fluffy and stable consistency. Carefully fold in the cornstarch using a spatula to ensure it's evenly distributed.

Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Spread the meringue mixture evenly over the prepared tray. Optionally, sprinkle chopped nuts on top.

Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the meringue has a light golden crust. Once done, remove it from the oven and flip it onto another piece of parchment paper, removing the bottom carefully. Allow it to cool.

In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream. Beat the mixture until smooth and creamy. Once the meringue layer has cooled, generously spread the cream over its surface.

You can add fresh berries or berry confit on top of the cream before rolling. To roll, start from the long side of the meringue and gently roll it towards you to create a tight roll, being careful not to break it. You can cut the roll into two halves for easier handling.

To make the berry confit, blend the frozen berries in a blender until smooth. Pour the puree into a saucepan over medium heat. In a small bowl, mix together the pectin with the sugar.

Once the berry puree is heated to 35-45°C (95-113°F), gradually sprinkle in the sugar and pectin mixture while stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for a few minutes. Afterward, add lemon juice to taste and remove from heat. Cool the confit and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.

After preparing your meringue roll and berry confit, place the assembled roll in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to set. This delightful dessert is sure to impress with its light meringue texture and creamy filling. Enjoy your beautifully crafted meringue roll!
