Method
- Preheat the oven to Gas Mark ½, 120°C, fan 100°C. Line a baking tray with nonstick baking paper. Split the vanilla pod and reserve the seeds for the recipe.
- Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks in a bowl, then slowly add the caster sugar. Whisk continuously until the egg and sugar are combined.
- Using a rubber spatula, spread the meringue mix onto the baking tray. Place the meringue in the oven for 2 hours to dry out. Turn off the oven and leave the meringue inside until completely cool.
- While the meringue dries, mix the yogurt with the vanilla seeds into a bowl.
- Wash, hull and quarter the strawberries. Older children can help prepare the strawberries.
- Carefully wash the raspberries and blend them in a blender until smooth. Sieve out the seeds and add a pinch of sugar, if needed, to sweeten the purée.
- When the meringue is hardened and cooled, help the children break it into pieces in a large bowl. Add the vanilla yogurt and strawberries, along with any juice from the cut strawberries that may have collected.
- Carefully mix, being sure not to break the meringue up too much more. Gently stir in the raspberry purée, then serve the mess in glasses or tumblers.
