Equipment
- Electric Mixer
- Rubber spatula
- Baking sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Sifter
- Kitchen towel
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar superfine preferred
- 1 tsp vanilla extract pure
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 cup pistachios finely chopped, unsalted
- 1.5 cups heavy cream chilled
- 2 tbsp confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar, beating until the mixture is glossy and holds stiff peaks.
- Gently fold in the vanilla extract, cornstarch, and finely chopped pistachios ensuring a light, airy mixture.
- Spread this meringue mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet to create a rectangular shape, and bake for 30-35 minutes. The meringue should be crisp outside but still soft inside.
- Once baked, allow the meringue to cool slightly before turning it out onto a fresh sheet of parchment paper.
- Whip the heavy cream with confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream evenly over the meringue followed by a layer of fresh raspberries.
- Using the parchment as guidance, gently roll the meringue from one end to the other, forming a log. Be careful not to squeeze too hard to avoid tearing.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider toasting the pistachios lightly before chopping.
- If fresh raspberries are unavailable, substitute with frozen raspberries, thawed and drained.
