Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Safflower oil cooking spray 6 large egg whites, room temperature 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 2 cups heavy cream 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar 4 cups (2 pints) mixed red berries and blueberries Red and white currants, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. Draw a 9-inch circle onto each of 2 pieces of parchment. Turn over, and line baking sheets with each.

Beat whites with mixer on high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Beat in 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Add remaining 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Scrape down sides of bowl, and continue to beat mixture until whites are very stiff and glossy and sugar is almost dissolved, 7 to 8 minutes. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Divide meringue between baking sheets and spread evenly with a rubber spatula, using circles as a guide. (Small swirls can be made for texture.)

Place baking sheets on separate racks in oven, and bake, switching position of sheets halfway through, about 2 hours. Meringues should remain white, become crisp on the outside and bottoms, and should easily lift from the parchment. Turn off heat, and let cool in oven, about 1 1/2 hours.

Beat cream, confectioners’ sugar, and remaining teaspoon vanilla until stiff peaks form. Place 1 meringue on a serving platter, and top with half the whipped cream. Smooth evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle half the berries on top of the whipped cream, then place second meringue on top. Smooth remaining whipped cream on top of the center of the meringue. Garnish with remaining berries and currants if desired.

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/04/2012   I'd never made any type of meringue before, yet this recipe was the perfect introduction. Directions for baking was confusing... I ended up baking the 2 layers for 2.5 hours and it was perfect. In the end the dessert tastes and looks wonderful!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       11/01/2011   i have made this several times.it requires great patience so as the meringue , does not crack.One also has to check temp. of your own oven as it varies.. and is critical to them being snow white, i myself didn't mind a slight browning.. ha ! AND if they cracked slightly i hid with the whipped cream.I usually served those after the initial presentation of the 1st perfect 1! I also use different fruits in season.I made a strawberry honey glaze and a melted chocolate topping i drizzled over top!
