baked: strawberry cream meringue

you would think that i can be pretty focused on what i do when i'm doing it,

but you're wrong....

'cause by the time i remembered that i was gonna blog about baking,

the meringues was already prepared and popped into the oven +___+

but the procedure was simple:

beat 4 egg-whites with 300g caster sugar until fluffy.

oh,and this is the second batch.

(first batch hangus XP )

so with the meringues baking, i had to start making the cream filling.

firstly~prepare the strawberries and blend~~~

my my~doesn't the blender look gorgeous...

.

so after blending,add lemon juice...

there weren't any lemons in Sunshine Farlim,so i substitute it with lime~

add satu biji lime punya juice...

continue blending.

then you have your puree:

sift~

then voila,you have your smooth strawberry+lime puree.

(it tastes awesome by the way)

.

then add them to some whipping cream and whip away~

(important:when you whip cream,make sure the temperature is COLD...

or you'll fail miserably like me. i had to add more cream and beat again =___=)

done....tadaa!

then pipe them into your cooled meringues~

finito!

.

you know..i tried to follow exactly what the recipe said,

but there were too much sugar involved,

then i failed at whipping the cream and had to add MORE CREAM than indicated,

and then i burned my first batch of meringues since it says 'bake for 30minutes' which was in fact too long,

and i realized that the whipped cream isn't going to hold two meringue pieces together and be kept into the fridge.

so i improvised :)

oh and i don't have a piping bag,used a plastic instead,since we have some new and unused ones at home..

.

by the way,

meringues are technically marshmallows that are further baked in oven..

sweet, crispy outside and fluffy inside.
