Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 250ºF (121ºC). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Meringue: In a large bowl, beat egg whites until light and starting to hold shape. Gradually add granulated sugar to egg whites and beat until firm. Beat in vinegar. Gently fold in icing sugar and corn starch into meringue mixture in thirds, gently.
  3. Spoon egg whites into a circle on prepared baking sheet, about 12” (30 cm).
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 1 ½ hours. Turn off oven, leave door ajar and let meringue cool in oven.
  5. Filling: Mix all ingredients together until well combined.
  6. Sauce: Place frozen berries and jam in a small saucepan. On low heat, simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla. Reserve.
  7. Assembly: Gently spoon filling over cooled meringue. Spoon reserved berry sauce over filling, don’t worry if it runs down the sides! Top with frozen berries. Sprinkle with icing sugar and garnish with fresh mint.

Tips

  1. Make meringue ahead, keep in cool dry place or wrap well and freeze. If wrapped well, can be stored for up to 1 month. Assemble dessert just before serving.
