Meringue roll is a great dessert for summer gatherings in nature. It is a perfect combination of crispy meringue, butter cream and fresh berries. It may seem to you that this airy dessert is very difficult to prepare at home, but believe me, this judgment is deceptive.
Ingredients
Cooking process
Prepare the meringue base for the roll. To do this, separate the whites from the yolks. Do this very carefully so that the yolk does not get into the whites and prevent them from beating. Leave the proteins to stand at room temperature. This is necessary so that, during the whipping process, the powdered sugar dissolves more easily in the proteins and the meringue mass turns out to be homogeneous and stable. From the leftover yolks, you can make a wonderful custard for any other dessert.
Place the whites in a deep bowl, add a pinch of salt to them and start whisking at low speed. After a light foam appears, increase the speed and start adding the powdered sugar. For the preparation of meringue, it is advised to use powdered sugar, not granulated sugar. Since it dissolves better in proteins and allows them to become as airy as possible.
Cover the baking sheet with a silicone or Teflon mat. If you do not have one, then use ordinary parchment, pre-wiped with a napkin soaked in sunflower oil. Place the whipped egg whites with the icing sugar on a baking sheet and gently smooth with a silicone spatula. You should have a rectangular layer with a dough not more than 2 cm thick. Sprinkle the meringue with almond petals on top.
Bon Appetit!
