Meringue wreath recipe 

I want to share a recipe with you that I made for Christmas - a delicious Merengue Wreath. It turned out to be a show-stopping dessert that everyone loved. The combination of melt-in-your-mouth meringue, fluffy whipped cream, and a colorful assortment of fruit made it the perfect centerpiece for our holiday table. 

Here's how you can recreate it

Ingredients

For the filling:

• 400 gr whipped cream
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• 500 gr frozen fruit (blackberries, blueberries, pomegranate seeds, raspberries, and cranberries)
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions

+ 1 hour baking time + 3 hours waiting time

• Preheat the oven to 85 degrees Celsius (185 F).
• Wipe a mixing bowl clean with 1 tbsp vinegar.
• Beat the egg whites in the mixing bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
• Gradually add the sugar and vanilla sugar, one tablespoon at a time. After approximately 10 minutes of mixing, the mixture should be smooth and no sugar grains should be felt. Pour in the remaining vinegar and gently fold it into the mixture.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place an upside-down bowl in the center of the baking sheet to help shape the wreath.
• Using two spoons, scoop meringue mixture into a circle around the bowl.
• Create peaks in the meringue using a fork. Carefully remove the bowl and slide the meringue into the oven.
• Bake for 1 hour and then turn off the oven. Allow the meringue to cool completely in the oven without opening the door. This will ensure that it dries out properly, which takes a few hours.
• Clean the fruit. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form, adding cinnamon while whipping.
• Carefully place the meringue wreath on a platter and spread whipped cream on top.
• Decorate the meringue wreath with the fruit and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
