Egg white dumplings on a strawberry mirror

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 300 g strawberries from Europe
• 3 tbsp agave syrup
• 1 orange(s), organic, juice and zest
• some cinnamon
• 5 egg whites
• 1 vanilla pod(s)
• 75 g powdered sugar

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 3 minutes; Total time approx. 23 minutes

Wash the strawberries, remove the middles, and halve the berries. Add the agave syrup, cinnamon, orange juice, and orange zest, and blend everything finely with a hand blender. For the meringue dumplings, sift the powdered sugar finely. Scrape out the seeds from the vanilla pod and add them. In a second bowl, start beating the egg whites with a hand mixer. Once they are foamy, add the powdered sugar little by little and beat everything until stiff peaks form. Fill a saucepan with a finger’s breadth of water and bring to a simmer on the stovetop. Drop small dollops of the meringue mixture into the pan and let it sit with the lid closed for 3 minutes. Expert tip: A caramel lattice gives the recipe the perfect crunch. Simply caramelize 150g of sugar with 3 tablespoons of water in a saucepan, dip a tablespoon into the liquid caramel, and use it to draw four small lattices on a piece of baking paper. Then let it cool.
