Instructions
Step 1
*Whisk* the egg whites using a hand mixer on high speed for about 3 minutes. *Gradually* add the confectioner's sugar, ensuring you *mix* well after each addition.
*Continue* whisking until *stiff peaks* form. Then, add the cornstarch and mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with *siliconized parchment paper*. Spread the meringue evenly into a rectangle approximately 1 centimeter (0.5 inches) thick. You can sprinkle with almond flakes, if desired.
Bake in a preheated oven at 130°C (265°F) for 35 minutes. Remove, cover with parchment and cooling rack, and carefully invert the meringue. Gently peel off the bottom parchment paper and allow it to cool.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine all cream ingredients and mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Spread the cream mixture *evenly* over the entire surface of the cooled meringue. *Place* fresh berries or other toppings over the cream.
*Roll* up the meringue into a roulade, using the parchment to help guide it. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Servings
Elevate your dessert game by drizzling your meringue roll with a luscious raspberry sauce or a tangy lemon curd. These delightful toppings will add a zesty contrast to the sweet meringue, creating a symphony of flavors in every bite. 🍋🍇
If you're feeling fancy, serve slices of the roll with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream. The cool creaminess beautifully complements the meringue's crunch and the filling's creaminess, creating a dessert experience that's truly unforgettable. 🍦🍰
For those cozy gatherings, pair it with a steaming cup of coffee or tea. The gentle bitterness of a dark roast or the subtle notes of a floral tea can cut through the sweetness, making it an ideal treat for lazy afternoons or after-dinner indulgences. ☕️🍵
Equipment
Ensure your meringue reaches the perfect stiff peaks by investing in a reliable hand mixer. It makes the mixing process faster and more efficient compared to manual whisking.

Variations
For those seeking 🌾 gluten-free goodness, confirm that all ingredients used, like cornstarch, don't carry any gluten. Most meringue recipes are naturally gluten-free, so you're mostly in the clear here!
To make it vegan, replace the traditional egg whites with aquafaba — the magic water from canned chickpeas! It's an excellent alternative for achieving those stiff meringue peaks. Use a vegan-friendly cream cheese and a non-dairy cream alternative for the filling to keep it entirely plant-based. 🥑🥥
Faq
- What if I don't have a hand mixer?
No worries! You can use a stand mixer if you have one. In a pinch, a balloon whisk and some elbow grease will also do the trick, just expect a bit more of a workout.
- Why is my meringue not reaching stiff peaks?
Make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and free from any grease. Also, gradually add the sugar to allow better absorption, promoting stiff peaks.
- Can I prepare the meringue roll in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare it a day ahead and store it in the fridge until you're ready to serve. Just keep it covered to prevent it from drying out.
- How do I prevent my meringue from cracking?
While a few cracks can add character, you can minimize this by handling the meringue gently and making sure it retains some moisture by not overbaking.
- How do I know when my meringue is perfectly baked?
The meringue should be pale with a firm crust and should slightly give when pressed lightly. Underbaking can make it too sticky to roll, so keep an eye on it!
- Can I add other flavors to the meringue or filling?
Yes! A few drops of your favorite extracts, like almond or lemon, can be added to the meringue or filling for an aromatic twist. Just be cautious to not overdo it and disrupt the original flavor balance.
