Macerated strawberries with meringue sandwiches

Serves: 6
Cooking Time: 20 mins + 2 hrs to macerate

Ingredients

  • 2 large egg whites
  • 100g icing sugar
  • a pinch of cream of tartar
  • 750g fresh strawberries, gently rinsed
  • a pinch of salt
  • 100g castor sugar
  • 100ml Galliano or any preferred liquor
  • 250ml (1 cup) fresh cream, whipped
  • 50ml tukmaria or black sesame seeds, toasted

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 120°C.

2

Gently whisk the egg whites until frothy and add the icing sugar. Whisk well. Spread spoonfuls of the meringue mixture in rounds on non-stick paper or a silicone baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10 – 12 minutes or just before it starts to change colour. Turn the oven off and leave the meringues inside the oven until the oven has cooled down.

3

Top the strawberries and cut into halves. Dress with the salt, sugar and liquor. Place in the fridge for 1 – 2 hours to macerate.

4

Spoon the strawberries into serving bowls and sandwich two layers of meringue with the whipped cream. Dip the sides roughly in the seeds and serve immediately.
