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 with half the sugar. When the whisk starts to leave marks in the mixture, add the other half of the sugar.
  Whisk until the meringue forms peaks when you lift the whisk.
• Draw hearts on a sheet of parchment paper. Then, using a piping bag, pipe hearts onto a baking sheet, following the patterns you drew.
  
• Bake for 1 hour at 250°F (120°C).
• Once the meringues have cooled and the sorbet has softened slightly, place some sorbet on one meringue heart, then place a second heart on top and press gently (be careful not to break the meringue).
  
• Put them in the freezer, or enjoy them right away!

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 sealed airtight container.
