Today I thank the good Lord for my sister in law! This recipe is all her's and I am excited to be sharing it with you today! I was feeling
super bad for neglecting my blog lately, then my sister in law came to the rescue with a recipe! YAY.
How are you guys doing? It's been awhile since we've caught up!!
This past week a friend and I went strawberry picking! It was perfect weather and a super fun outing! Then the day after, she and I made 30 something jars of strawberry jam! So wonderful! I love making things homemade. It's always better.
Here is the recipe for this delightful dessert!
Ingredients
- 3 egg whites
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 pint fresh strawberries
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw a 9 inch circle on the parchment. An easy way to do this is to draw around the outside of a 9 inch pan with a pencil.
- In a large bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. Add 3/4 cup of the sugar gradually, while continuing to whip. Make sure sugar is completely dissolved. Mix together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the cornstarch; lightly fold into meringue with lemon juice.
- Spread a layer of meringue to fit circle on parchment, approximately 1/4 inch thick. With remainder of mixture, pipe or spoon swirls around the edges to form a shallow bowl shape.
- Bake at 300 degrees F for 1 hour. Turn off oven, but leave meringue in oven for an additional 30 minutes. When cool, the meringue should be hard on the outside, and slightly moist on the inside. swoooooon
- In a large bowl, combine the cream and half a cup of confectioners sugar, and whip until thickened. Decorate with fruit of your choice; strawberries are excellent.
Enjoy!
Have a great rest of your day!
