Macaron Swiss Roll and Meringue made with macarons from Florian Poirot who is based in James' home town of Malton! This is an impressive sweet treat that serves 8...depending on how big those portions are!
Ingreadient :
5 medium eggs
125g caster sugar
125g plain flour
300ml double cream, whipped
100ml lemon curd
200g raspberries, blitzed
1 tbsp caster sugar
A few extra berries
Mint
Macarons
8 meringue nests
12 macarons
12 mini meringues
1L double cream, whipped
Mint
Selection of berries
Icing sugar
Direction :
Preheat the oven to 180c
To make the puree, blitz the raspberries.
Line a 22cm x 32cm tin with greaseproof paper. In a Kitchen Aid, whisk the eggs and sugar to a ribbon stage (5-6 mins), fold in the flour, pour into the tin and level out.
Bake for 10-12 minutes on the middle shelf and leave to cool. Place the sponge onto a damp tea towel sprinkled in caster sugar and remove the paper.
Spoon the pureed berries over the sponge, spoon over the cream and curd all over the sponge and roll up tightly. Then, pop onto a large platter.
To decorate, pipe over the rest of the cream, dot with berries, mint and macarons.
Place the meringue shells in a circle on a cake stand. Spoon over the cream, top with macarons, berries and mint, dust with icing sugar.
