Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 140°C / 120°C (fan).

  2. Step 2

    To make the meringue whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff and foamy.

  3. Step 3

    Mix together the caster sugar and Truvia before gradually pouring into the whisked egg whites one spoon at a time. Mix until all of the sugar has been added and the meringue looks smooth, light and glossy. Fold in the vanilla extract and make into 12 small mounds on 2 baking sheets lined with baking parchment. Bake for 1 hour 30 mins before removing from the oven and leaving to cool completely on a wire rack.

  4. Step 4

    To make the strawberry puree, blend the strawberries and Truvia in a liquidiser or food processor until smooth. Press through a sieve with the back of a fork and collect the juice.

  5. Step 5

    To make the cream filling whip the cream lightly until just thickened before folding in the crème fraiche.

  6. Step 6

    When ready to assemble crumble and layer the meringue, fresh fruit, cream and strawberry puree together in presentation bowls before serving immediately. Enjoy!
