Elegant meringue nests filled with creamy white chocolate ganache and topped with fresh strawberries and strawberry coulis. Light, crisp, and perfect for special occasions or celebrations.

Ingredients

2 egg whites

100 g caster sugar

½ teaspoon lemon juice

150 g white chocolate (optional, for ganache)

70 ml double cream (optional, for ganache)

Strawberries, to garnish (optional)

150 g strawberries (optional, for coulis)

50 g icing sugar (optional, for coulis)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 120°C (250°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add sugar and continue whisking until stiff, glossy peaks appear.
  3. Gently fold in the lemon juice to stabilize the meringue.
  4. Pipe nests onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a slight hollow in the center.
  5. Bake for 1 hour until crisp, then turn off the oven and let them cool completely inside.
  6. For ganache (optional): heat cream until steaming, pour over chopped white chocolate, stir until smooth, and cool until slightly thickened.
  7. For coulis (optional): blend strawberries with icing sugar until smooth, straining if desired.
  8. Assemble by filling nests with ganache (or whipped cream), topping with strawberries, and drizzling with coulis.

Notes

Use whipped cream instead of ganache for a lighter version.

Swap strawberries for raspberries, blueberries, or mixed berries.

Drizzle with melted dark chocolate for a festive touch.

Add a drop of vanilla or almond extract to flavor the meringue.

Store unfilled meringues in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
