First of all, we need meringue. For one fresh egg white we use 60 g of sugar, there you can add a little juice համ lemon flavor. Stir, put on parchment paper, bake, but rather dry in a preheated oven for 1.5-2 hours.
We bake meringue in the form of two hemispheres, which we then connect. For the cream you can take a part of mascarpone և white chocolate ganache, whipped cream (fat content: 33%), which should be mixed with melted white chocolate in a ratio of 6: 4. Coat the inside hemispheres or just put it nicely in a pastry bag. Put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the bottom, and a diced strawberry on the top, which should be mixed with the raspberries without the stones. If you want, add sugar, but in principle, the natural sweetness of the berries is enough for a harmonious taste.
Then we arrange the dessert on a plate, decorate it with raspberry jelly cubes, if desired, with meringue powder. If we have meringue left, we have to mix it with grated raspberries, dry it and grate it through a strainer. . The final touch is a few fresh mint holders!
