Ingredients

Scale

For the meringue

  • 4 egg whites, room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (200g) sugar

For the compote

  • 12.5 oz. (350g) strawberries, chopped
  • 9 oz. (250g) rhubarb, chopped
  • 2 tbsp. honey
  • 1 tbsp. water
  • 3–4 whole basil leaves

For the decoration

  • 1/2 cup (120g) heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp. confectioner’s sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
  • some fresh strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 275˚F (135°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside.
  2. Add egg whites to a large bowl and beat on high speed until soft peaks form. Add vanilla extract and mix. Slowly add the sugar one tablespoon at a time and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  3. Place 8 equal amounts of the meringue on the baking sheet with a spoon or spatula. Form little nests with a well in the middle. If you want a less rustic style, transfer the meringue to a piping bag and pipe nests on the baking sheet. Make sure the bottom is a solid circle, so the filling can’t leak out. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Turn off the oven, leave the door closed and let the meringues sit and dry for another hour.
  4. For the compote add the chopped rhubarb and 9 oz. (250g) of the chopped strawberries to a sauce pan. Add water, honey and the basil leaves and bring to a boil over medium heat. Let simmer for about 15 minutes – the fruits should be soft and syrupy. Remove from the heat and take out the basil leaves. Add the remaining strawberries and mix. Let cool down completely.
  5. Beat the heavy cream on high speed until soft peaks form. Add confectioner’s sugar and vanilla extract and beat until thick and creamy. Do not over beat.
  6. Fill each meringue with some of the compote and top with the whipped cream. Garnish with a fresh strawberry and serve immediately.
