Ingredients
- 1/2 cup egg whites (about 4) without any traces of yolk
- 1/2 cup + 1/2 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom (optional)
- Crème Chantilly
- 2 pints fresh blackberries
- For dusting Imperial Sugar Confectioners Powdered Sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 210°F.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper on a large cookie sheet. Using a pencil draw an 8-inch circle onto parchment paper. Flip paper upside down and set aside.
- The meringue shell can be made with or without a piping bag. If using, fit a piping bag with a large plain pastry tube and set aside.
- Whip egg whites to froth and while whipping gradually add first listed 1/2 cup sugar. Add vanilla extract.
- Continue whipping on medium speed to very stiff peaks.
- Mix remaining sugar with cardamom. Stop whipping and using a rubber spatula gently fold remaining sugar into meringue. Once combined stop folding.
- If using a piping bag, pipe an 8-inch spiral onto parchment paper. On the edge, pipe large kisses and place in oven. Without pastry bag spoon meringue into drawn circle. Using a spoon, spread meringue even in center while building a higher border. Place in oven.
- Bake until meringue is thoroughly crisp. This will take at least 2 hours. Once cooled, store meringue airtight to prevent meringue from becoming soggy.
- When ready to serve, fill meringue with Crème Chantilly.
- Arrange blackberries on top of Crème Chantilly. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Store refrigerated.
