Raspberry Meringue Bomb

[NAB3]

Almost finished making this and it is so easy and is going to look amazing. Takes a bit of forward preparation but I expect it would be lovely for a treat or nice dinner party.

OMG that was gooooooooooooooooooooooood.

lol, your earlier efforts were not in vain!

Room left for any of the other treats you made?

I couldn't eat another thing.

tell all....how do you make it woman!

Come on, hand over the recipe then!

250g/8oz frozen raspberries
2 tbsp Creme de Cassis ( I left this out)
280ml/10fl oz double cream
125g/4oz ready-made meringues

1. Start by defrosting the raspberries. Then push them through the mouli with a medium disk (or use a sieve and the back of a wooden spoon, this is what I did) squeezing out all the juice you can. Stir in the Creme de Cassis.

2. In another bowl, whisk the cream until it just starts to thicken. I use a balloon whisk to do this - although it is tempting to use an electric whisk, you don't have the same control and can easily end up over-whipping the cream.

3. In a third bowl, crumble the meringues into quite chunky pieces. It is easy to be too thorough here - you want to achieve a rubble effect with lots of texture not dust!

4. Pour the cream over the meringues and mix-up gently until the meringues are evenly coated.

5. Gently pour half the raspberry couli over the meringue-and-cream mixture and stir in - but not too much. Ideally you want to achieve an almost marbled effect. Save the rest of the raspberry coulis for later.

6. Pour the finished mixture into a pudding basin, covering carefully with foil and put in the freezer for at least 3 hours.

7. When you are ready to serve, place the pudding basin in a bowl of hot water for about 30 seconds. Tip out onto a serving plate and cut into slices. Serve with the reamining raspberry sauce drizzled across each slice.
   I also served the raspberry mixture left in the sieve.
   ENJOY!!!

OOOooooooooooooooooo
