I made this beautiful thing for dessert after the Sunday roast. I tried to make syn free meringue, using egg whites and sweetener with 0.5tsp of vinegar as I'd seen other slimming world people talking about this. While the texture of the meringue was light and crisp, it had an odd aftertaste and wasn't as robust as bought meringue nests. I topped the layers of meringue with whipped fat free creme fraiche with vanilla extract and sweetener and lots of berries.
Overall, it wasn't a complete fail. It was pretty, and the family liked it. The creme fraiche with the berries as really lovely. But there is certainly room for improvement. with the meringue, at least I didn't waste any syns on it! I think I will try the Slimming World recipes next time either the Summer Fruit Pavlova or the Double-Chocolate and Berry Pavlova. Or there's always the simple choice of a bought meringue nest for 1 syn. Has anyone found a syn free meringue recipe that works? Thanks for reading!
