Filling
  • 200 grams Fresh Raspberries washed and dried
  • 100 ml Heavy Cream whipped

Method
 

Prepare Meringue
  1. Preheat the oven to 100°C (210°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold in the vinegar and cornstarch.
  5. Spoon the meringue into a piping bag and pipe small nests onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top of each nest.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the meringues are dry and crisp.
  8. Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool completely inside.
Assemble Nests
  1. Once cooled, carefully remove the meringue nests from the parchment paper.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  3. Fill each meringue nest with a dollop of whipped cream and top with fresh raspberries.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful spring treat!
