Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 150°C (130°C for fan ovens) and prepare a baking tray by greasing it lightly and lining it with baking paper.
- Combine egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar in a stand mixer bowl. Beat on medium speed until frothy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Gradually add caster sugar while increasing mixer speed to high. Beat for 8–10 minutes until stiff peaks form, then fold in cornflour, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
- Spread the meringue mixture onto the baking tray evenly and sprinkle flaked almonds on top. Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown.
- Let the meringue cool for 5–10 minutes then turn it onto dusted plastic wrap to cool completely for about 1 hour.
- In a saucepan, combine frozen pitted cherries, sugar, lemon juice, cornflour, and a splash of water. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes until thick and syrupy.
- Whip thickened cream and icing sugar until soft peaks form, then fold in Greek yoghurt and your choice of liqueur until firm peaks form.
- Spread half of the whipped cream filling over the cooled meringue, then half of the cherry compote, and gently roll the meringue from the long side.
- Transfer the rolled roulade to a serving plate, top with remaining cream filling, raspberries, and extra almonds. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
