Zanele’s Fruit Surprise Dessert

Meringue:

Preheat your oven to 120°C. In an electric mixer, whisk 5 egg whites until they turn foamy. Add 1 cup of sugar and cornflour and continue mixing until the mixture becomes firm and glossy. Add vanilla essence and lemon juice, folding them into the mixture. Spread the meringue onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 20 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 100°C and bake for an additional 1.5 hours. Turn off the oven and let the meringue cool inside.

Berry Sauce:

In a pan, on low heat, combine frozen berries, sugar, lemon juice and water. Cook the sauce until it thickens, then allow it to cool.

Jelly:

Prepare the jelly by dissolving a box of strawberry jelly and gelatine powder in 1 cup of boiling water. Pour the mixture into ice trays and refrigerate for 1.5 to 2.5 hours, or until the jelly sets.

To serve:

Break meringue, jelly cubes, and fruits on a serving platter. Drizzle the sweet berry sauce over the top. For an extra touch of indulgence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This Fruit Surprise Dessert is a delightful and refreshing dessert that combines the best of sweet and fruity flavours. Enjoy
