Meringues with mastic Ashuplados kon almastica

These elegant, ivory-coloured clouds of meringues are crunchy to bite into but yet soft and chewy inside because of their soft mastic and vanilla flavoured centres.

Meringues are easy to prepare and utterly divine. They are extremely versatile and can be transformed into an impressive prepare-ahead dessert, topped with generous dollops of sweetened lightly whipped cream with an exotic tropical twist of sliced mangoes, pineapple and a drizzle of warm passion fruit syrup. They can also be made individually with swirls of melted chocolate or fresh berry purée and served with ice cream and seasonal berries.
