- Preparation: 20 min
- Cooking: 120 min
- Makes: 1 serving (255 g)

Ingredients
- 30 g Egg whites, raw

Method
- Whisk the egg white to stiff peaks, then whisk in 60g of the sugar a spoonful at a time until thick and glossy.
- Spoon onto a lined tray and bake at 110°C (225°F) for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave the meringue inside to cool and dry out completely, about 1 hour more.
- Whip the cream to soft peaks.
- Toss the strawberries with the remaining sugar and crush lightly with a fork to release some juice.
