Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Meringue

Preheat your oven to 120°C (250°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add 200 grams (1 cup) of granulated sugar, ensuring that it dissolves completely during whisking.

Once the sugar is fully incorporated, mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Continue to whip until the meringue is glossy and stiff peaks form.

Step 2

Bake the Meringue

Spread the meringue evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour until the meringue is dry and easily lifts off the parchment paper. Once baked, turn off the oven and let the meringue cool inside for about 30 minutes.

Step 3

Prepare the Fruit Topping

While the meringue cools, wash and slice the 200 grams (7 ounces) of fresh strawberries. In a bowl, combine the strawberries with 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of fresh blueberries and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the fruits.

Step 4

Assemble the Strawberry Meringue Roll

Once cooled, carefully peel the meringue off the parchment paper and place it on a clean kitchen towel, meringue side down.

Spread the fruit mixture evenly over the meringue, leaving a small border around the edges.

Starting from one edge, gently roll the meringue into a tight log using the towel to help. Once rolled, place it seam-side down on a serving platter.

Step 5

Garnish and Serve

For an added touch, decorate with fresh mint leaves on top.

Slice the meringue roll into portions and serve immediately for the best texture. Enjoy the delightful taste of summer!

Variations

Gluten-Free and Vegan Variations

Want to make this treat suitable for everyone? You can easily tweak the recipe!

For a **gluten-free version**, simply ensure your baking ingredients are certified gluten-free. Most fruits and meringue are naturally gluten-free, making this dessert already favorable!

If you prefer a **vegan alternative**, use aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) instead of egg whites to create your meringue. Whip it until it forms stiff peaks, then proceed as usual! This way, you can enjoy a sweet and beautiful dessert that everyone can indulge in. 🌱

Faq

  • What is the best way to ensure my meringue is stiff?

    Make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are clean and grease-free. When whipping, start at a low speed and gradually increase. Add sugar slowly for the best results!

  • Can I use other fruits for the roll?

    Absolutely! Fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or even peaches can be great additions. Just ensure they’re fresh and ripe!

  • How can I prevent my meringue from cracking?

    Ensure you cool the meringue gradually and avoid drastic temperature changes. Keep an eye on baking time to ensure it's not overcooked.

  • What should I do if my meringue is too runny?

    If it’s runny, you may not have beaten it long enough. Whip it longer until stiff peaks form. If it doesn’t hold, start over with fresh egg whites.

  • What’s the secret to a perfect roll?

    The key is to roll it gently while it's still warm, using the parchment paper to create a tight roll without breaking the meringue.

  • Can meringue be made ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the meringue a day in advance. Store it in an airtight container to keep it crisp.
