For a light, quick, summery dessert, Lisa has you covered!
Preparation Time: 20min
Cooking Time: 45min
Serves: 4
- Preheat the oven to 130°C. Line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper.
- Drain the Del Monte® Fruit Cocktail and reserve the juice for later.
- Whisk the egg whites and the salt in a large clean bowl with an electric whisk until stiff peaks. Then gradually whisk in the sugar and finally the vinegar. Whisk until the mixture is glossy and quite stiff.
- Spoon four serving spoon sized scoops onto a lined baking sheet. Make a little dent in the middle of each, so that it’s like a little nest.
- Cook in the oven for about 45min, then turn the oven off and leave the meringue in for another half an hour. Allow to cool.
- Whip the cream until it holds its shape, stirring in the vanilla extract and icing sugar. Fold through one can of the fruit cocktail.
- Spoon the fruit cocktail cream onto the meringue nests. Top with spoonfuls of the second can of fruit cocktail and a sprig of mint. Finish by drizzling a little of the juice over the meringue.
