Method

Step 1

Put the water, granulated sweetener and lemon juice in a small pan over a low heat until the liquid has reduced and begins to look sticky.

Step 2

Meanwhile, put the egg whites and cream of tartar in a bowl, and slowly whisk together until they form soft peaks.

Step 3

Slowly pour the sweetener mixture into the beaten egg whites.

Step 4

Gently add the cornflour and continue to mix until the egg whites are stiff.

Step 5

On a parchment-lined baking tray, spread or pipe the meringue to form a bowl, about 20-25cm (10 ins) across.

Step 6

Bake in a cool oven, 100°C/gas ¼ for about 1 hour 20 minutes, until it is firm and just beginning to colour. Open the oven door and leave the meringue in the oven until it is cool.

Step 7

When cool, carefully place the meringue on your serving plate.

Step 8

Combine a third of the fruit with the yogurt, adding sweetener if needed. Pile into the meringue and top with the remaining berries and a few sprigs of mint.

Recipe tips

If your meringue starts to brown before it is cooked, open the oven door for a few minutes to reduce the heat.
Don’t fill your meringue until just before serving – it will go soggy if it’s left too long with the berry filling. However, you can make the yogurt/fruit mixture in advance and refrigerate until needed.
