Vacherin with White Chocolate and Red Fruits

Ingredients:

2 egg whites
50g caster sugar
200ml double cream
100g white chocolate, chopped
150g red fruits (such as raspberries, strawberries, and cherries), washed

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan oven) gas mark 4.
Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
Gradually add in the caster sugar while continuing to whisk the egg whites until they are smooth and glossy.
Using a spatula, spread the mixture onto the parchment paper to form a 20cm circle.
Bake the meringue in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Remove the meringue from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the parchment paper.
Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler, or in a heatproof bowl placed over a simmering saucepan of water.
In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until it forms soft peaks.
Gently fold the melted white chocolate into the whipped cream.
Spoon the mixture onto the cooled meringue, spreading it out evenly.
Decorate the top of the Vacherin with the red fruits.
