Summer Berry Meringues

  1. Heat oven to 230 degrees F.
  2. Place the egg whites and lemon juice into the clean bowl of a food mixer.
  3. Whisk until the whites double in volume and hold a peak when the whisk is drawn through them.
  4. Keep the whisk running and add the sugar a tbsp at a time, incorporating completely before adding the next.
  5. Whisk until all the sugar has been added and the whites are glossy.
  6. Place a square of baking parchment on a large baking sheet.
  7. Pencil nine circles, about 2-3/4" each, onto the parchment.
  8. Spoon the meringue into a large piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle and pipe concentric rounds to fit each drawn circle, piping two or more rings around the edge to form a nest.
  9. Bake for 2 hrs until they are crisp and lift off the paper easily.
  10. Leave to cool completely.
  11. Whisk the creme fraiche until stiff, then fold in the yogurt.
  12. Set 2 strawberries and 9 raspberries aside and roughly chop the rest.
  13. Pour the chopped berries, mint and ginger into a bowl.
  14. Sprinkle with a little icing sugar and use a wooden spoon to mash to a rough puree.
  15. Gently fold the berries into the yogurt mix, adding icing sugar to taste.
  16. To assemble, cut the remaining strawberries into 9 slices and place a slice inside each meringue case.
  17. Generously share the rippled cream between the cases, then top with a raspberry and a mint sprig.
  18. Dust with a little icing sugar just before serving.
  19. ( Meringues keep in an airtight container for 2 days.
