Welcome to my kitchen, Ella's Yummy Food. Today I want to show you something really really really delicious. It's basically strawberry and cream meringue cookies. They are so good. Perfect for the summer, perfect for any romantic occasion, perfect for basically any occasion if you just fancy some strawberries and cream. But they are so yummy. You've got that crunchy sort of meringue layer outside, you've got that fresh vanilla cream in the middle and a tart strawberry inside. Oh my god guys, I'm literally salivating talking about it right now. but they are so so good i love strawberries and cream so for me it's a total winner every single time and so and good thing about it as well you can make your meringue cookies the day before and then just assemble them a few hours before the event or wherever you're sharing them or if you're just eating them yourself and also they last in the fridge for up to a day they do become soggy after a while because it is a meringue but yeah guys i really hope you try this recipe make sure you subscribe to my channel i want to reach 100 000 subscribers and it's my dream so it really really makes me happy to subscribe share with your friends and tell everyone about my channel only you can help me guys in reaching my goal and i really really appreciate all of you so much for watching my videos up to this day um yeah now let's get started in a clean bowl add your egg whites make sure your bowl is nice and clean and doesn't have any fat otherwise the meringue will not puff up and whip and then start slowly whipping it just with nothing on low speed and then increase the speed as you go until you start to form nice soft peaks just like that and then we're going to add sugar one teaspoon at a time and then just keep whisking your meringue until it starts to sort of become more glossy more fluffy and just keep adding sugar a little bit at a time until your full sugar is completed so this process will take five to seven minutes depending on how much meringue you have and how much how powerful is your whisk and your stand mixer once it's all whisked you can see that it becomes nice and white and glossy and you can rub the meringue between your fingers to see if there's any sugar left if there isn't then it's ready right we're going to start with adding strawberries i'm using frozen ones into a pan and then i'm going to add a little bit of sugar you can add more or less sugar as you wish just mix everything together and we're going to cook this on a low heat until the strawberries start to melt. Because they're frozen it will take slightly longer so cook them for about five to ten minutes depending on you know the heat that you have and how long you need to cook them so they're super soft and squishy. Once they're ready you can transform them, mix them all and transform them into your blender and we're going to blitz everything together until they're super nice and smooth and I absolutely love the smell of strawberries it smells so good and summery so even in winter you can have this delicious summery sort of strawberry dessert it's so romantic and i love it next we're going to sieve our strawberry mixture so put it into a little sieve and just keep whisking with your spoon until you have all the seeds taken out and then you'll see the mixture is nice and smooth guys and girls i have my recipe on my website at aliceyummyfood.com you'll find full ingredients and also directions on how to make this and also you'll be able to find loads of other recipes that I do for my channel and just click through click on a picture and you'll be able to see the whole video with the directions and the full recipe in English and Russian languages and then we're going to add our puree into our meringue and mix everything together until it's nice and smooth just like this place your meringue into a piping bag and then fill it up until it's full and it should look just like that I've left some swirls and then you want to pipe these little blobs on top of your parchment paper and baking tray so just go around and sort of hold it down press and then pull away you can create any shapes that you like guys again this is up to you and you can use your imagination we're going to bake these for about one hour at 120 Celsius degrees or 250 Fahrenheit once they're done take them off leave them to cool down and it's time to make our cream in a bowl add your mascarpone with your double or heavy cream and then whisk everything together until it's nice and smooth then we're going to add a little bit of icing sugar you can control the sweetness of that by adding a bit less or more it's up to you and I'm also adding my vanilla bean extract which is so good and then mix everything together with a spoon and combine everything into a smooth delicious sort of vanilla cream frosting you want to put a little bit of your cream inside each meringue cookie and then top it up with fresh strawberry and the second half of your meringue and then place them in the fridge to set but they should be done a few hours before first serving and they are so good guys and girls I can't even explain how amazing these flavors work together I honestly ate them all in about an hour and so did my guests I hope you enjoyed this recipe don't forget to follow me on all my social media and tag me in any pictures that you do and I've got loads of other recipes on my channel which you can check right now by clicking on the links thanks for watching guys
