Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 100°C.
  • Heat greengages with 2 tablespoons of water and 120g sugar until broken down and syrupy.
  • Whisk egg whites to soft peaks, then whisk in the remaining 150g caster sugar to stiff peaks.
  • Sift in icing sugar and whisk until the mixture is very stiff and glossy.
  • Line a baking tray with paper using small dots of meringue to secure the corners.
  • Fold half the cooled fruit into the whites for a ripple effect and spoon eight dollops onto the tray.
  • Bake for 2 hours then leave to cool completely in the oven with the door propped open.
  • Whisk double cream with vanilla seeds until soft peaks form.
  • Sandwich two meringues together with cream and fruit on a plate and serve immediately.
