Ingredients: For the Meringue: • Egg whites 180 g (5-6 medium eggs) • A pinch of salt • Lemon juice 1 tsp • Sugar 250 g (1 cup) or monk fruit sweetener • Cornstarch 25 g (2 tbsp) • Almond flakes (4 tbsp) • Powdered sugar (4 tbsp) For the Cream: • Cream Cheese 350 g (1 1/2 cup) • Powdered sugar 60g (1/2 cup) • Heavy cream 200 ml (1 cup) For the Strawberries: • Fresh strawberries 250 g (2 cup) Step 1: Prepare the Meringue 180 grams of egg whites (5 or 6 medium eggs). Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and whip them on low speed until they start to foam up. Once they’re foamy, gradually add 250 grams of sugar (or monk fruit sweetener) in three parts. Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Add 25 grams of cornstarch and whip on low speed until everything is well combined. Spread the meringue evenly over the paper. This creates the base for roll. Sprinkle 4 tablespoons of almond flakes over the meringue. Dust a small amount of powdered sugar over the top. Pop it into the oven and bake it for 45 to 50 minutes at 130°C (266°F), until the meringue is crisp and lightly golden. Once it’s done, let it cool for about 10 to 15 minutes. Step 2: Make the Cream You’ll need 350 grams of cream cheese and 60 grams of powdered sugar. Mix the cream cheese with powdered sugar by hand. Whip 200 milliliters of heavy cream — until you get soft peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture by hand, until it’s smooth and combined. Step 3: Prepare the Strawberries You’ll need 300 grams of fresh strawberries. Start by washing them thoroughly, then drying them with a paper towel. Cut off the tops of the strawberries and slice off about one-third from the bottom. This will make it easier to arrange on the meringue. Step 4: Assemble the Meringue Roll Carefully remove it from the parchment paper. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the meringue. Next, arrange the strawberries in a row on top of the cream. Carefully roll the meringue up from one edge, making sure the filling stays inside." Once it’s rolled up, wrap it in parchment paper and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours. This will help the roll set and stabilize." Final Thoughts & Serve If you want to make it extra special, you can decorate it with some more cream cheese and strawberries on top. Tips for Preparing the Meringue Roll with Strawberries: For best results, make sure your egg whites and cream cheese are at room temperature before starting. This will help the egg whites whip up more easily into stiff peaks and ensure your cream cheese mixes smoothly into the filling. When adding sugar to your egg whites, do it gradually in 3 parts. This allows the sugar to dissolve properly and ensures you get those nice, stiff, glossy peaks. For a smooth, creamy filling, mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar by hand. This avoids over-beating and ensures a soft texture for spreading on the meringue. If you're worried about the meringue cracking when rolling, you can cover the meringue with a clean kitchen towel before you start rolling. This will prevent it from sticking or breaking apart as you roll. When it’s time to slice the meringue roll, use a serrated knife instead of a regular one. A serrated knife will cut through the delicate meringue and cream without squishing or breaking it. Dip the knife in warm water between slices to get cleaner cuts and avoid sticking.
