I've been following Gesine Bullock-Prado's blog since I read her first book, Confections of a Master Baker, for her drool-worthy concoctions. Her Resolute Meringue caught my eye. Yesterday I decided to try it myself.
Making meringue is a messy business. I had it coming up and out of everywhere when I piped it onto the parchment paper. I couldn't quite get the perfect tight circles Gesine did. After I baked them, some of the meringue stuck to the paper. They got a bit mangled. Those disks I used on the bottom. The raspberries and yogurt were sandwiched in between two of the disks. You can't quite see the heart on the top so here it is alone. I like how they came out!
My girl loved Resolute Meringue! I liked it too but, wow, it is sweet.
I have never tried making meringues. My sons have, though, with their grandma. So maybe I should ask them to help me make some!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really good, I think you did a great job.
I'm impressed that you tackled meringues! It looks like they turned out great!
ReplyDeleteThey look pretty good, not mangled at all! And tasty... yum, raspberries and yogurt you say? Must give them a try myself soon :D
ReplyDeleteYour meringues came out great. I love your heart! I've been reading Bullock-Prado's blog off an on too -- some really beautiful baked good there.
ReplyDeleteYour meringues look yummy. I also love to eat them but do not like to make them. Somehow I always mess up.
ReplyDeleteGood job! I'm not that adventurous!
ReplyDeletegee, I have never thought of meringues as that messy...lol
ReplyDeleteI love to make pavlovas, meringues topped with whipped creme and fruit. But yours sounds healthier..lol
The heart is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh, they look delicious! I've never made meringue but I bet my girl would love to try this recipe.
ReplyDeleteI tried to make meringues once and it was a disaster! I suppose enough time has passed to give it another go...

ReplyDeleteTheres a programme on BBC at the moment called 'Baking made easy' and I have been meaning to try meringues ever since I saw it on there. I should, I have a food processor which makes it easier
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother makes delicious meringue but I've never had it anywhere else. Wonder if she'd give me her recipe. ;) This looks like a great Valentine treat.
ReplyDeleteThey look awesome! You're a master baker yourself :)
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed!
