Easy strawberry meringue sundae

Easy strawberry meringue sundae

The only effort involved in this summery strawberry meringue dessert is using an electric whisk and cooking meringues in the oven. The rest is a breeze!

What you need:

What you do:

  1. Preheat the oven to 150°C. Put the egg whites and sugar in a clean, dry bowl (don't use a plastic one, as they can be greasy) and beat with the whisk attachment of an electric food mixer or hand-held electric beater until the mixture is foamy and stiff.
  2. This will take about 10 minutes; so don't use a hand whisk. Spoon the meringue on to baking trays lined with baking parchment in small dollops for individual meringues. Remember that it will spread as it cooks, so leave room between individual meringues. Cook for 35-45 minutes until crisp, and then remove from the oven and leave to cool. Break down the meringue into chunks and place in a tall glass.
