Mini meringues with strawberries and chamomile syrup

May 11, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Mini meringues with strawberries and chamomile syrup. A colorful dessert, light, fragrant and refreshing. Spring on a plate.

The reason for this dessert was the recipe for the most creamy vanilla custard ice cream you’ve ever eaten. You can find the recipe here. The velvety texture of this ice cream is mainly due to the use of many yolks. So, after using my egg yolks I ended up with many egg whites. There was no other option, meringues for dessert. 

The composition of the final dish was inspired by a spring stroll. Near my house there is a large area that used to be a military camp. And this area was full of wild flowers but also my favorite chamomile. What a noble flower, it always make me smile while it gives me a feeling of tranquility.  

This is exactly the feeling I wanted to create with this recipe. When you see this dish, you smile, and when you taste it, you close your eyes, sit back and smile again. 

Chamomile syrup

The recipe for chamomile syrup follows the logic of a classic syrup. You will need some water, sugar, a few drops of lemon juice and dried chamomile. Boil and then let it cool, your syrup is ready.

Chamomile syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for a month, while in addition to this recipe can be used in others too. For instance, you can flavor a cake with it or use it in your favorite cocktail.

Recipe notes

The recipe for mini meringues with strawberries and chamomile syrup is an easy one. Attention should be paid to the meringue. Before you begin check the following:

  • egg whites should be at room temperature
  • for best results, we can beat the sugar in the blender to make a powder
  • first you have to beat the egg whites and then add the sugar 
  •  In order to be sure your meringue is ready, turn the bowl upside down. The meringue should remain stable.
