Hazelnut Meringue Roulade Withe Raspberries Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200c.
• Line a 9x13 Swiss roll tin with baking parchment.
• Place the egg whites in a clean bowl and whisk using an electric whisk on full speed until very stiff.
• Gradually add the sugar a teaspoon at a time, whisking well between each addition.
• The meringue is ready when it is glossy and very stiff.
• Spread the mixture into prepared tin and sprinkle with hazelnuts.
• Bake for 8 mins or until very golden.
• Remove the meringue from the oven and turn hazelnut side down on a sheet of non-stick baking parchment.
• Remove the paper from the base of the meringue and allow to cool for ten mins.
• Spread the whipped cream over the meringue and scatter over the raspberries.
• Using the parchment to help you, roll the meringue up fairly tightly from one of the long ends to form a roulade.
• Wrap in non-stick baking parchment and chill well before serving.
• To serve unwrap and cut in slices.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 by 13-inch Swiss roll pan or jelly roll pan with foil, folding the sides up to make a frame of 1 1/2-inches high and squeezing the corners together. Brush lightly with vegetable oil.
• Place the egg whites in the spotlessly clean stainless steel bowl of an electric food mixer, or use a hand-held electric beater and whisk until soft peaks form.
• Add all the sugar, but if using a hand-held beater, add the sugar in stages, and whisk at full speed for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until stiff peaks form. Using a large metal spoon, fold in the coconut firmly and quickly.
• Smooth the meringue into the prepared tin with a palette knife, and bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until faintly browned and firm to the touch.
• Allow the meringue to cool for a few minutes, and then turn out onto a sheet of foil (slightly bigger than the roulade) deftly turn it upside down onto the sheet gently removing the foil on the base. Allow to cool completely.
• For the filling, stir the cream and curd together. Adjust to taste. It should have a good 'lemony'/'limey' tang to contrast with the sweet meringue.
• Spread the curd cream mixture evenly over the meringue, leaving the long edge nearest to you, about 1 1/2 inches free of filling. Cover the cream with the fruit.
• Holding the foil closest to you, roll up the roulade away from you and leave it in the foil until you are ready to serve (it will hold neatly here for a couple of hours in the fridge).
• When ready to serve, unwrap the roulade, and gently push it onto a serving dish using a palette knife or cake slice.
• Dust with icing sugar and decorate with a few more raspberries and mint leaves, if you wish.
