Preparation

  1. For the meringue, preheat the oven to 135° C.
  2. Pulse the sugar, brown sugar and corn flour in a food processor until completely fine and well mixed. Place the vanilla and lemon juice in a small bowl and mix well.
  3. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Turn on top speed, slowly add the sugar mixture and continue to whisk for one minute.
  4. Add the lemon mixture and continue to whisk until the meringue is glossy and completely stiff. Pipe the meringue in circles onto parchment paper and bake for approx. 1 hour until crisp and dry to the touch. Turn the oven off, tilt the oven door open and allow the meringues to dry in the oven for a further hour (meringues may sink slightly and crack while cooling).
  5. For the cream filling, add the custard powder to the lime juice and sugar, stirring constantly.
  6. Lightly whip the cold QimiQ Whip Pastry Cream completely smooth, ensuring that the entire mixture has been incorporated (bottom and sides of bowl). Add the custard mix and continue to whip at top speed for approx. 3 minutes.
  7. Sandwich the meringue rings with the cream and serve with the berries.
