Plum, almond and raspberry meringue basket
What you need
- 8 yellow plums, halved, stone removed and quartered
- 175 g raspberries
- 100 ml amaretto liqueur
- 5 medium egg whites, beaten
- 300 g icing sugar, sifted
- 3-4 drops vanilla essence
- 300 ml double cream
Method
Place the prepared peaches and raspberries in a bowl and mix in with the Amaretti until well coated. Cover and leave to macerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 110°C.
Whisk the egg whites in a clean dry bowl until stiff. Gradually whisk in the icing sugar with the vanilla. Then place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and whisk for 5 min or until very stiff.
Spoon half the meringue into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle. Pipe 20 fingers each 8 1/2 cm long onto baking trays lined with parchment paper. With the remaining meringue spoon onto 2 baking trays lined with parchment to form 2 x 18cm circles. Place the meringues in the oven for 60 min until firm.
Remove from oven and leave to cool completely. Then remove from baking tray.
Drain the fruit from the Amaretti. Whisk the cream with the liqueur until firm. Using a little of the cream, assemble the basket on a large serving plate by placing one meringue round on the base and the meringue fingers around the edge. Gently tie in place with a length of ribbon.
Fill the meringue basket with layers of the macerated fruits and cream and the other meringue layer finishing with a layer of fruit. Serve well chilled in slices.

Cook's tip
10. Do not tie the ribbon around the meringues too tightly or they will break - simply tie loosely as it is mainly for decorative purposes.
