Ingredients
| 3 | egg whites (room temperature) — for the meringues |
| 30 гр | xylitol (or erythritol) |
| 1/4 ч.л. | citric acid |
| 1 | vanilla (vanillin) |
| 3 | egg yolks — for the cream |
| 250 гр | strawberries |
| 2 с.л. | butter |
| — | sweetener of choice, to taste |
Instructions
- Purée the strawberries and mix them with the beaten egg yolks in a heatproof bowl.
- Heat the mixture over a water bath on low heat.
- Add the sweetener and stir until the cream thickens.
- Then melt the butter and add it to the mixture.
- Homogenise the cream well and leave it in the fridge to set.
- Meanwhile prepare the meringue nests. Put the egg whites, xylitol, vanilla and citric acid in a completely dry bowl.
- Whip with a whisk or mixer to stiff peaks (snow). It is important that the whisk is also completely dry.
- Transfer the fluffy whites into a piping bag and form the nests onto a tray lined with baking paper. Start with a solid spiral for the base and add 2 more rows of the meringue mixture for the walls of the nest.
- Heat the oven to 100°C and dry the meringues for about an hour.
- Fill the cooled nests with strawberry cream just before serving. You can decorate with a little mint, whose flavour perfectly complements the sweets.
