Raspberry Snow Eggs: Elegant Poached Meringues with Raspberry Coulis

Ingredients: Serves 4
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 400 g raspberry coulis
  • 8 fresh mint leaves
  • Pinch of salt


Preparation:
  • Preparation time: 15 minutes
  • Cooking time: 15 minutes


Difficulty: Easy

Place the egg whites in a clean bowl with a pinch of salt. Whisk until stiff peaks form, gradually adding the powdered sugar while beating to achieve a firm meringue.

Divide the raspberry coulis evenly among four dessert cups.

Using two tablespoons, shape the meringue into quenelles and arrange them on a flat microwave-safe plate without touching. Microwave on maximum power for 30 seconds. Let rest for 1 minute, then gently place the poached meringues onto the coulis in the cups.

Refrigerate until ready to serve. Just before serving, decorate the meringues with a drizzle of light caramel, fresh raspberries, and mint leaves.
