Ingredients
- 3 large egg whites
- 175 g caster sugar
- 1 level tsp cornflour
- 1 tsp malt vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Icing sugar to dust
- Whipped chantilly cream
- Fresh strawberries
- Blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan-assisted). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Whisking the Meringue: In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the caster sugar while whisking until the mixture is glossy and holds stiff peaks.
- Adding Flavors: Gently fold in the cornflour, malt vinegar, and vanilla extract to the meringue mixture.
- Baking: Spread the meringue mixture onto the prepared tray, shaping it into a rectangle. Bake for about 15 minutes until lightly golden.
- Preparing Toppings: While the Roulade bakes, slice the strawberries and set them aside with the blueberries. Whip the chantilly cream until it forms soft peaks.
- Assembling: Once baked, remove the Roulade from the oven and let it cool slightly. Dust the surface generously with icing sugar. Carefully spread the whipped chantilly cream over the surface, then scatter the strawberries and blueberries on top.
- Rolling: Using the parchment paper, gently roll the Roulade from one short end to the other. Don’t worry if it cracks a bit—it adds character!
- Decorating: Place the Roulade on a serving dish, seam side down. Dust with more icing sugar for a snowy finish.
