Ingredients (Serves 6)
FOR THE MERINGUE
- 4 egg whites
- 200g caster sugar
- 1 tsp cornflour (cornstarch)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 pinch of saltFOR THE TOPPING
- Fresh seasonal summer fruits (peaches, nectarines, apricots, cherries, strawberries...)
- 2 to 3 tbsp Galoupet honey (or local wildflower honey)
- 200ml thick crème fraîche (or homemade whipped cream)
- A few fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs (optional)
Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff. Gradually add the caster sugar, then fold in the cornflour and lemon juice until the meringue is glossy and firm.
Using a spoon or piping bag, shape individual meringue nests onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 110°C (230°F) for 1 hour 15 minutes, then turn off the oven and let the meringues rest inside for 1 hour with the door slightly ajar.
Wash and slice the summer fruits into wedges or bite-sized pieces.
Arrange the meringues on plates with the fresh fruit and a generous spoonful of crème fraîche.
Drizzle with garrigue honey right before serving.
