one meringue on each plate and top with 1-2 spoonfuls of whipped cream and a
spoonful of cherry compote.
3 Sprinkle with pistachios and serve immediately.
french meringues
1 Preheat the oven to 110 °C (100 °C fan, gas mark 1/2).
2 Fit the whisk. Place the egg whites and a pinch of salt in a very clean and dry
metal bowl. Run the WHISK programme without the cap. After 4 minutes, gradually
add the icing sugar through the opening.
3 Line* a baking tray with baking paper. Spoon the meringue onto the paper in
mounds of approx. 5cm diameter x 2cm high.
4 Using the back of the spoon gently indent the top of each meringue and bake for
1 ½-2 hours. When cooked, they will easily lift off the paper. Leave the oven door
ajar and cool the meringues at the same time as the oven cools down.

1 Cut the cherries in halves. Add to the metal bowl with the sugar; run the EXPERT
