Step-by-Step Instructions 5

1. Preheat and prepare pans

Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Start the meringue

In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.

Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form, then gently fold in the vanilla extract.

4. Pipe double-layer circles

Pipe small circles on the prepared baking sheets and create a second layer by piping another circle on top of each.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, then turn off the oven and let the meringues cool inside for an hour.

6. Make the filling

Meanwhile, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold in the white chocolate chips and raspberry puree.

Once the meringues are cool, sandwich them with the raspberry white chocolate cream filling and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
