Preheat oven to 140°C 275°F Gas Mark 1. Whisk egg whites until very stiff then whisk in the sugar a teaspoon at a time (don’t over whisk as the egg whites will go runny again). Blend the vinegar and cornflour(theseareoptionalbutinusingthemyouwillgetaslightlychewycentre to the meringue), and fold into the mixture. Place the parchment / greaseproof paper on 1 large or 2 smaller baking trays. Spoon the meringue mixture onto the paper and spread it as you go to make 2 circles, each about 20cm in diameter (I put a plate of about that size under the parchment as a guide and then remove it when I’ve finished spreading out the mixture). Bake the meringues for about 1 hour, until firm. Allow to cool, and then carefully remove the paper. Whip the cream. Wash the berries and hull the strawberries. Roughly squash 1 punnet of the strawberries and add to the cream. Cut the rest in half and gently fold into to the cream with the raspberries. Sandwich the 2 meringues with the berry cream mixture just before serving. Don’t assemble too early as the cream melts the meringue. Nutrition Info (per serving): 374 calories, 17 g fat.
