Meringue

Campari Pearls

Method

Prepare Posset

  1. 1

    Bloom the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.

  2. 2

    Heat the Cream and Sugar

    In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is just about to boil.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the bloomed gelatin, kalamansi juice, and rosewater until well combined.

  4. 4

    Chill the Mixture

    Pour the mixture into serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Make Meringue

  1. 5

    Whip the Egg Whites

    In a clean mixing bowl, whip the egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form.

  2. 6

    Add Sugar Gradually

    Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.

  3. 7

    Pipe the Meringue

    Transfer the meringue to a piping bag and pipe onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 200°F (93°C) for 1.5 hours until dry.

Prepare Campari Pearls

  1. 8

    Mix Campari and Agar

    In a saucepan, combine Campari, agar-agar, and water. Bring to a boil while stirring until the agar dissolves.

  2. 9

    Create Pearls

    Using a dropper, drop the Campari mixture into cold oil or water to form pearls. Allow to set for a few minutes.

Assemble the Dessert
