And if you are not yet familiar with such a culinary masterpiece, then we offer you a step-by-step recipe with a photo of its preparation.

Meringue roll with raspberries

In contrast to the same meringue roll at home, it is faster and easier to prepare. In the proposed step-by-step recipe with a photo, not only cream is used for the filling, but also cream cheese, which makes it even more tender and tasty. If there are no raspberries, then you can take other berries, for example, blueberries or strawberries.

Ingredients:

• 4 egg whites;
• 180 g icing sugar;
• 1 tbsp. l. corn starch;
• 1 tsp vanilla sugar;

For filling:

• 200 g of Mascarpone cheese;
• 150 ml cream (33-35%);
• 50 g icing sugar;
• 100 g raspberries.

Preparation:

For dessert, you only need proteins, so carefully separate them from the yolks. We send it to a clean container, which can even be moistened with lemon juice, and then wiped dry. It is very important that the whipping bowl is not greasy, but clean and dry, otherwise the whites cannot be whipped to the desired consistency

Add salt to the proteins and begin to beat with a mixer until the egg mixture turns into a white soft foam

• Without stopping whipping, pour vanilla sugar into the protein mass and add powdered sugar in portions. We work with a mixer until hard peaks are obtained, when turning the container, the proteins should not slide along the walls, but keep their shape.
• Now sift the cornstarch into the whipped whites and gently stir it in until all the lumps are dissolved.

We cover the baking sheet with parchment, grease the paper with butter, spread the protein mass, level it into a layer 1-1.5 cm thick

Sprinkle the cake with almond petals or chopped nuts, but this is optional

We bake the protein base for 15-25 minutes, temperature 180 ° C. The exact time depends on the oven and layer thickness. The finished cake should not stick to your hands; when pressed with a finger, the meringue should not fall through, but spring. The surface of the crust should dry out, but remain soft on the inside

• Cover the cake with a sheet of parchment, turn it over so that the side with the almonds is on the bottom. Remove the paper on which the meringue was baked and leave the cake to cool completely.
• At this time, we will prepare the cream. To do this, whip cold cream together with powdered sugar.
• Then add cream cheese, beat with a mixer at low speed, or just stir with a spatula.

After that, spread the cream in an even layer on the surface of the already cooled cake. We leave a little cream for decoration

Raspberries are pre-washed, dried and laid out on a creamy layer

Now we carefully roll the layer with the filling into a roll

• Using a pastry bag, decorate the dessert with the remaining cream and raspberries.
• Cool the roll for an hour before serving.

For the filling, it is better to choose berries with sourness, which will be in harmony with the sweet meringue and thereby ensure the perfection of the taste of the dessert.

Merengue roll "Tropical"

At home, a meringue roll can be baked not only with berries, but also with fruits. So there is a step-by-step recipe with a photo of a dessert with a banana. This tropical delicacy is sure to please all those with a sweet tooth.

For the cream:

• 150 ml cream (33-35%);
• 150 g cream (curd) cheese;
• 1 banana;
• powdered sugar.

Preparation:

• Let's start with the nuts, which we fill with boiling water, leave for 10 minutes, then remove the peel from them and dry them on a towel.
• We simply chop the nuts with a knife or chop them into thin long pieces.

• We immediately prepare the baking sheet, cover it with parchment and make the sides.
• Beat the egg whites in a clean and dry container for 1 minute at medium speed.
• Then we increase the speed and begin to introduce the icing sugar in portions. Beat for at least 10 minutes until persistent peaks.

Then add starch, a pinch of citric acid and turn on the device again for just a few seconds

We transfer the protein mass to parchment, level it, sprinkle with nuts on top and dry the meringue in the oven for 30-40 minutes, temperature 150 ° C

Then we take out the meringue, turn the parchment onto another sheet and give it time to cool completely

• For the cream in a bowl, whisk the chilled cream until fluffy, along with cream cheese and powdered sugar.
• Grease the cake with cream, and lay out the banana cut into pieces on top.

We turn the cake into a roll and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes

After we take out the dessert, decorate with orange slices and mint leaves

A meringue roll can also be made with frozen berries, but for this we put them in a saucepan, add sugar and put on fire. As soon as the berries boil, add starch and cook until thickened.

Another step-by-step recipe with a photo of a dessert, which perfectly combines crispy meringue with coconut and nuts, and inside a delicate butter cream with raspberries. The meringue roll turns out to be very tasty and beautiful; every housewife can bake such a dessert at home.

Ingredients:

Preparation:

• Separate the whites from the yolks, pour into a clean bowl and, with the addition of salt, begin to beat at low speed.
• Now add flavored and regular sugar, continue beating at high speeds.

As soon as the protein mass becomes glossy and keeps its shape, sift the starch into it, add almond flour and coconut flakes, gently mix everything from top to bottom

We spread the resulting mass on a baking sheet with parchment and level it into a thin layer, if desired, sprinkle it with almond petals on top. We send it to the oven for 20-30 minutes, the temperature is 170 ° C

After that, cover the hot cake with a sheet of parchment, turn it over and while we put it aside to cool

• For the cream, beat the chilled cream with vanilla sugar and sifted icing sugar until thickened.
• Then add the butter cream and stir everything.
• We grease the surface of the cake with cream, lay out the raspberries on top and use paper to roll everything into a roll.

Decorate the finished dessert with the remaining cream, raspberries and mint leaves

You only need to apply the cream on a completely cooled cake, if it is still warm, then the cream will simply exfoliate and the cream will become liquid.

Marble meringue roll

Very tasty and beautiful marble meringue roll is obtained at home. This step-by-step recipe with a dessert photo will be especially appreciated by all chocolate lovers.

Ingredients:

• 5 eggs;
• 250 g icing sugar;
• 15 g cornstarch;
• 80 g dark chocolate;
• 150 ml cream;
• freeze-dried raspberries.

Preparation:

First, we heat the pieces of dark chocolate in the microwave with short pulses until they are completely dissolved

• Pour the proteins into the bowl, beat until light foam, and then start adding the powdered sugar and increase the speed.
• Then pour the starch to the protein mass and mix it into the meringue at low speed.

• Now pour in the melted chocolate and make just a couple of movements from the bottom up. You cannot stir for a long time, otherwise the mass will settle and you will not get a marble effect.
• We spread the meringue on a silicone mat or on a baking sheet with parchment, level it over the entire surface, put it in the oven for 25 minutes, temperature 170 ° C.

Turn the finished cake on parchment and give it time to cool completely

For the cream, simply whip cold cream to persistent peaks, do not add powdered sugar, since there is already enough sweets in the dessert. But what we add is freeze-dried raspberries, which will add a pleasant sourness to the delicacy

And now we grease the cooled cake with cream, roll it up and cool it for 2 hours before serving

Dark chocolate is suitable for such a dessert, because unlike bitter chocolate, it does not add bitterness, but at the same time reduces the sweetness of the roll.

Pistachio meringue roll with Mascarpone

You can also try baking a pistachio meringue roll at home. In the proposed step-by-step recipe with a photo, we do not sprinkle the cake with the nuts, but add directly to the meringue. It turns out very tasty and unusual.

Ingredients:

• 5 eggs;
• 250 g icing sugar;
• 100 g pistachios;
• 1 tsp corn starch.

For the cream:

• 250 g of Mascarpone cheese;
• 250 ml cream (33-35%);
• 100 g icing sugar;
• berries and chocolate for decoration.

Preparation:

For the meringue, beat the whites with the addition of salt until a stable foam

• After 2-3 steps, add powdered sugar and continue to beat until a stable glossy mass is obtained.
• Using a blender, grind the pistachios, mix with starch and pour into the whipped proteins, mix everything carefully.

Put the resulting pistachio mass on a baking sheet with parchment, level it, bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, temperature 170 ° C

• Turn the finished cake over onto a clean sheet of parchment and cool completely.
• For the cream, just take cold cream, icing sugar and cream cheese. Beat the ingredients until a fluffy, homogeneous, stable mass is obtained.
• We coat the crust with cream, lay out the raspberries, roll them up and put them in a cool place so that the cream inside solidifies well.

• After the roll, decorate with melted white and dark chocolate, as well as raspberries and pistachios.
• When whipping proteins, increase the mixer speed gradually so that the meringue is as stable as possible. If you immediately whisk at high speed, then when baking the cake will rise strongly, but then fall off.

This is how quickly and easily you can bake a delicious, crispy and at the same time tender meringue roll at home. Each of the proposed step-by-step recipes with a dessert photo has its own special taste that you will definitely like.
