Pink meringues with strawberries

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 140°C/gas 1.

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add two teaspoons of the sugar and whisk well again until the mixture regains its former stiffness.

3. Fold in the remaining sugar and a couple of drops of the colouring very gently, until the mixture is a soft pink.

4. Using two tablespoons, spoon blobs of the meringue onto a baking sheet lined with non-stick paper or Teflon sheeting.

5. Bake in the oven for 3 hours, until the meringues are firm and crisp.

6. When cool, sandwich pairs of meringues together with a spoon of clotted cream and top with a couple of strawberries.

7. Decorate each meringue pair with a couple of rose petals on top and a dusting with icing sugar.
