Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Meringue:

  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Toppings:

 

  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream

  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chocolate whipped cream (for decoration)
  • Sprinkles or chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw a heart shape as a guide.

  • Make the Meringue:

    • Beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
    • Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
    • Gently fold in cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla.
  • Shape & Bake:

    • Spoon meringue onto the parchment, shaping it into the heart outline.
    • Smooth the top and edges.
    • Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let it cool inside.
  • Prepare the Whipped Cream:

    • Beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  • Assemble:

    • Spread whipped cream over the cooled meringue.
    • Top with raspberries, strawberries, and a decorative swirl of chocolate whipped cream.
    • Add sprinkles or chocolate shavings if desired.

 

  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the egg whites are at room temperature for the best meringue texture.
  • Bake the meringue low and slow to keep it crisp on the outside and marshmallow-like inside.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge, but consume within a few hours for the best texture.
