    earl grey pistachio meringue tower with blueberries and figs and edible flowers

    Uncategorized

    these meringues have chunks of pistachios in and they are flavoured with earl grey.
    i added blueberry puree into the cream as well as pouring it over the meringue tower.
    the beautiful flowers were supplied by jan from maddocks farm oraganics.

    This would be great for a gathering people can just dig in its a bit like Eton mess.

    4 egg whites
    220g 1 cup caster sugar
    1/4 tsp cream of tartar
    2 tsp corn flour
    1 tsp white white vinegar
    1 earl grey tea bag
    6 tbsp chopped pistachios
    preheat the oven to 120c
    in the bowl of a stand mixer add the egg whites
    whip until they are frothy then add the sugar, earl grey and cream of tartar and continue to whip until thick and glossy then add the vinegar and corn flour continue whipping until stiff peaks form, then mix through the pistachios.
    spoon the mixture in small mounds onto a lined tray
    bake for about 1 hour to 1 hour 20 or until they can be peeled away from the baking paper in one piece.
    let cool
    make blueberry sauce
    1 punnet of blueberries (150g)
    110g (1/2 cup sugar)
    in a pan add the blueberries and sugar and simmer over a medium heat until the blueberries burst and the liquid thickens, pour through a sift then pour into a jug.
    whip 300ml double cream with 5 tbsp icing sugar then add some of the blueberry sauce and whip until thick.
    start building up a tower with the meringues and add the cream, sauce and fresh blueberries and chopped figs (optional)
    once you have built up the meringues add the flowers.

      Wow- this is most amazing and stunning for a dinner party!!! I LOVE how you decorate with fresh flowers and colorful fruits.
      When you cut your amazing tall cakes I would love to see images of the inside and how it looks… once step closer to tasting it. Beautiful
