Ingredients
For the meringues,
- 6 egg whites, it is better if they are a little dehydrated, so use eggs 1 week old and separate the whites from the yolks the day before. Refrigerate, but bring to room temperature before whipping
- 1 cup granulated sugar, plus 5 tablespoons
- 1 pinch of salt
For the raspberry whipped cream,
- 1 liter of liquid cream (heavy cream)
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
To assemble the cake,
- 2 cups of raspberries, washed and dried with paper towels or other fruit
- 3 discs of meringue cold
- 1 cup raspberry preserves or another flavor you like
- sweetened whipped cream
Instructions
For the meringues,
Prepare three circles of parchment paper or silicone, 20 cm in diameter, leaving a flap peel, or use Silpats. Preheat the oven to 200F or 100C.
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy and soft peaks appear, and if you flip, the bowl will not slip. With a mixer at low speed, add sugar and salt slowly. Continue beating at high speed for 7 minutes. It should look glossy and hold hard picks.
Divide the batter into three parts and spread onto the paper discs. Alternatively, place the meringue in a pastry bag with a large tip and pipe it from the outside to the center on top of the parchment circles.
Bake for 1 hour and a half. The meringue should feel solid to the touch and dry. Allow it to cool in the oven.
For the sweetened whipped cream,
The bowl and beater blades should be chilled in the freezer for 10 minutes, and the cream should also be very cold.
Beat at medium speed until it doubles in size and forms soft peaks. Add the sugar, taste, and add more sugar if you want. Continue beating at high speed until it is firm, about 2 minutes more.
To assemble the cake,
Place a dollop of whipped cream on the plate where you will assemble the cake. Place a meringue disk and cover it with half of the jam.
Add the whipped cream and then the raspberries or other fruit. Top with another meringue disc and repeat. Complete with a third meringue disc and cover the entire cake with a whipped cream garnish. Freeze.
To serve, move to the refrigerator about 2 hours before serving time.
