Critical Success Points

  • Whip the egg whites to firm peaks without any sugar grains.
  • Incorporate the sugar gradually to avoid crystallisation.
  • Bake at two temperatures (150 °C then 120 °C) to achieve a golden crust and a moist centre.
  • Allow the meringue to cool completely before adding the cream.
  • Do not over‑beat the mascarpone to keep a smooth texture.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw eggs with care; consume immediately or refrigerate.
  • The oven reaches 150 °C, use kitchen gloves to handle the hot tray.
  • The knife must be handled carefully when cutting the fruit.
