Ingredients

Scale

Lavender Meringue Layers:

  • 100g egg whites (from ~3 large eggs)
  • 100g granulated sugar
  • 90g powdered sugar
  • 90g almond flour
  • ½ tsp culinary lavender, finely ground
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt

Lavender Whipped Cream:

  • 300ml heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp dried lavender, steeped in 1 tbsp hot cream, then strained
  • Optional: 1–2 drops purple food coloring

To Assemble:

  • 250g fresh raspberries
  • A few edible purple flowers (violas, lavender buds, borage)

Instructions

  1. Make the meringue: Preheat oven to 120°C (250°F). Line two trays with parchment. Draw two 18–20cm circles as guides.

    2. Whip egg whites: Beat egg whites with salt until soft peaks. Gradually add granulated sugar. Beat until glossy, stiff peaks.

    Fold & shape: Sift powdered sugar, almond flour, cornstarch, and ground lavender. Gently fold into the meringue. Pipe or spread into your traced circles.

    Bake low & slow: Bake for 1.5 hours until dry to the touch. Turn off oven, crack door, and let cool inside.

  2. Infuse the cream: Warm 1 tbsp cream, steep lavender 10 mins, strain and cool. Whip the full cream with sugar, vanilla, infused cream, and food color (if using) until thick and fluffy.
  3. Assemble the layers: Spread a thick layer of lavender cream over the first meringue round. Add raspberries. Gently place second meringue on top. Pipe more lavender cream and arrange extra raspberries.
  4. Decorate: Finish with edible flowers and chill for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness of the whipped cream to your preference by adding more or less powdered sugar.
  • Ensure that the meringue layers are completely cooled before assembling to maintain their crisp texture.
  • Experiment with different edible flowers for a personalized touch to the decoration.
