Method

For the meringues

  • Preheat oven to 110* C (230* F) Fan.
  • Beat the egg whites and salt in a mixer, until the mixture comes together and begins to rise.
  • The salt helps the meringue stiffen more.
  • Add the granulated sugar in batches while beating for at least 3 minutes, until the sugar dissloves completely.
  • Add the icing sugar and continue beating, until the meringue becomes bright and shiny.
  • Add the vanilla and beat on high speed, until stiff peaks form.
  • Take a pastry bag and add a star tip.
  • Add some red food color paste and use a pastry brush to spread it all over the interior of the pastry bag.
  • Add the meringue, seal pastry bag and cut open at the tip.
  • Pipe some meringue onto the baking sheet and cover with parchment paper. This will help keep the paper and meringues in place while baking.
  • Pipe meringue nests onto the baking sheet. Pipe out smaller meringues with your lefover meringue.
  • Bake for at least 2 hours. Of course this also depends on their size. For meringues that are 1-2 cm in diameter, 2 hours is enough.
  • We want the exterior to be baked but the interior to be chewy.

For the cream cheese filling:

  • Beat the cream cheese and sugar in a mixer.
  • Lower the speed and beat for 2-3 minutes, until it is light and fluffy .
  • Scrape down the sides of the mixer’s bowl.
  • Add the heavy cream and beat until the mixture thickens.

For the berry sauce:

  • Mash  the berries along with the icing sugar and balsamic cream with a mortar and pestle, until it becomes a sauce. Refrigerate for 1/2 an hour to chill. 

To assemble and serve:

  • Pipe some of the cream cheese filling on to a serving plate. Place a meringue nest on top. This will help the meringue stay in place.
  • Pipe the filling into the meringue nest.
  • Drizzle with chilled berry sauce.
  • Add some whole berries.
  • Crush some of the smaller meringues over the top.
  • Serve, share and enjoy! 

Tip

If you want to make your meringues multicolored, use food coloring and a pastry brush to paint the inside of the piping bag before adding the mixture.
