Fruit Sorbet Base

Meringue Discs

Method

Fruit Sorbet Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fruit

    Wash and chop the fresh fruit into small pieces. If using strawberries, hull them first.

  2. 2

    Blend the Fruit

    In a blender, combine the chopped fruit, granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, and water. Blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixture

    Pour the blended fruit mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for about 1 hour to chill.

  4. 4

    Churn the Sorbet

    Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer to a container and freeze until firm.

Meringue Discs

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 6

    Whip the Egg Whites

    In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.

  3. 7

    Add Sugar Gradually

    Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.

  4. 8

    Add Vanilla Extract

    Gently fold in the vanilla extract using a spatula.

  5. 9

    Pipe the Meringue

    Transfer the meringue mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small discs onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches in diameter.

  6. 10

    Bake the Meringues

    Bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meringues are dry and can easily be lifted off the parchment paper. Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool inside for an hour.
