Blackberry Meringue Recipe

Blackberry Meringue Recipe

  • 3 1/2 cups blackberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup Lucerne Plain Yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 3 Safeway SELECT Organic Large Eggs, whites only, at room temperature
  • Fresh mint sprigs
  1. Pre-heat broiler. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the blackberries and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, combine 2 tablespoons sugar, yogurt, and lemon peel. Gently mix in remaining berries.
  3. Spoon yogurt-berry mixture into 4 ovenproof ramekins, each 1-1/2 to 2 inches deep and 4 to 5 inches wide.
  4. In a deep bowl, whip egg whites with a mixer at high speed until foamy. Continue to beat and gradually add remaining 6 tablespoons sugar (about 1 tablespoon every 15 seconds) until whites hold stiff peaks when beaters are lifted.
  5. Swirl meringue equally over yogurt-berry mixture. Set dishes on a 10- by 15-inch baking sheet. Broil about 4 inches from heat until meringue is browned, 30 to 60 seconds.
  6. Spoon reserved sugared berries and their juice over meringues. Garnish with mint sprigs.
