The following recipe is subtly pink in flavour rather than colour.
Ingredients (Serves 4-5)
2 lge egg whites
120g caster sugar
1 pinch crushed pink peppercorns
small handful of crushed shelled pistachios (freshly shelled are better)
150ml double cream
150g natural greek style yoghurt
1 tsp rose water (or more to taste)
150g defrosted mixed berries (optional)
Method:
Preheat oven to 140deg C.
Method
Line a large baking sheet with parchment or a silicone sheet.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff in a large spotlessly clean bowl. Once the egg whites are stiff, add the caster sugar a teaspoon at a time whisking well between each addition. Once all the sugar has been added, fold in the peppercorns and nuts.
Spoon heaped dessertspoonfuls of the meringue onto the baking sheet. I got 9 from this recipe.
Bake in the oven for 50 minutes. The meringues should feel light and can be lifted carefully from the sheet without collapsing. I prefer a slightly chewy middle. Cook for longer if you prefer a drier meringue.
Allow the meringues to cool on a rack.
Whisk the cream until thick then fold in the yoghurt and rosewater.
Serve the meringues sandwiched with yoghurt cream and scattered with berries if desired.
