Ingredients

Method
  • 6 free-range egg whites, at room temperature
  • 350 g caster sugar
  • 1 x 360 g punnet blueberries
  • 3 T maple syrup
  • 2 T lemon juice
  • ¼ cup brandy, sherry or Cointreau
  • 4 nectarines, thinly sliced
  • 160 g raspberries
  • 2 cups cream, whipped
  • icing sugar, for dusting

1. Preheat the oven to 120°C. Beat the egg whites until frothy, then gradually add the sugar and beat until stiff.

2. Place dollops of egg-white mixture onto a tray lined with greaseproof paper, then bake for 2 hours. Turn off the oven and leave overnight.

3. Place the blueberries and maple syrup in a pan and cook gently for 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice and brandy.

4. To assemble, layer the meringues, fruit and cream in a trifle bowl, crushing the meringues slightly.

5. Dust with icing sugar. You can push the layers down with a spoon or keep them loose as we did.

Cook’s note: Use Woolworths’ cocoa or salted caramel meringues if you prefer.
