Ingredients
3 egg whites
175g caster sugar
1tsp white wine vinegar
1tsp cornflour
1tsp vanilla essence
200ml double cream
250ml Innocent Pomegranate Magic Smoothie
150g raspberries
2tbsp pomegranate seeds
4 figs, cut into thin wedges
10g Dr. Oetker Giant White Chocolate Stars
20g pistachio nuts, deshelled and roughly chopped
Mint leaves, to decorate
1tbsp Asda Shimmer Sugar
Method
1Preheat the oven to 120C/100C Fan/Gas ¼. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
2Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Slowly whisk in the sugar, 1tbsp at a time, until stiff and glossy. Fold in the vinegar, cornflour and vanilla essence.
3Using a dessertspoon, put spoonfuls of the meringue in a wreath shape, making sure they touch, and make a small dip in the top of each (these will be filled with cream later). Bake for 1 hr 15 mins, then turn off the oven and leave the wreath to cool inside.
4When you’re ready to serve, whisk the cream with 75ml of the smoothie until soft peaks form. Stand the wreath on a serving plate and spoon a little of the cream mixture onto each meringue mound.
5Arrange the fruit, chocolate stars, pistachios, mint and shimmer sugar all over the meringue wreath, then drizzle over the remaining smoothie.
