Ingredients
Meringue
- 4 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 cup maple syrup (preferably dark syrup for its robust flavour)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Filling
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- Strawberries, sliced
Method
- Preheat the oven to 150 °C (300 °F).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a glass and a pencil, trace 12 circles about 7 cm (2 3/4 in) in diameter each.
- In a large bowl, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar with a hand mixer until you get soft peaks.
- Now gradually add the maple syrup and cornstarch and continue beating until your mixture forms firm peaks.
- Spoon your mixture into the circles traced on the baking sheet, then form a well in the center of each.
- Bake for 90 (or until the meringue is golden brown). While it bakes, you can whip the cream with the maple syrup.
- Once you remove your meringue from the oven, let it cool completely before you fill each round with whipped cream and sliced strawberries.
