Allergens

Eggs, Dairy

Ingredients

• 4 large egg whites
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• Fresh or frozen mixed Nordic berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackcurrants)
• 2 cups
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a clean, grease free bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff and glossy. Pipe the meringue into 16 small clouds onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes or until firm and dry to touch. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack. In a saucepan, combine berries, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks and gently fold into the cooled berry mixture.
