Quick valentine's vacherins

Ingredients

• 1 egg white
• 1/2 cup sugar
• strawberry sorbet

Materials

• piping bag, baking tray, wax paper

Preparation

• Whisk the egg whites at medium speed with half the sugar. When they start to form peaks, add the other half of the sugar.
  Whisk until it is very stiff and forms peaks.
• Draw some hearts on wax paper, then use a piping bag to make meringue hearts following the drawn patterns.
  
• Bake for 1 hour at 250°F (120°C).
• Once the meringues have cooled down, place some strawberry sorbet on one meringue heart, then cover with another heart and apply gentle pressure (be careful not to break the meringue).
  
• Put in the freezer or eat right away! Bon appétit!

Observations

No piping bag? No worries! Use a freezer bag with a corner cut off ;-)

Tips for a successful meringue: Ideally, use egg whites at room temperature, or even aged. So, either take the eggs out of the refrigerator a few hours before making your meringue, or separate the whites from the yolks 1 to 2 days in advance and keep the whites out of the refrigerator in a closed airtight container.
