Ingredients
  

  • 50 g melted butter
  • 100 g crushed Marie biscuits or tea biscuits
  • 2 egg whites preferably organic
  • 200 g sugar
  • 60 ml water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • q.s. passion fruit curd high-quality, homemade or store-bought

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Verrines or small glasses
  • Blowtorch or broiler

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the crushed biscuits until it resembles damp sand, then press it into verrines to create a solid base.
  3. Whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form.
  4. Heat sugar and water in a saucepan, stirring until dissolved, then bring to a boil and let reach 115-120°C.
  5. Slowly pour the hot syrup into the beaten egg whites while continuing to whisk until glossy and cool.
  6. Spoon a generous layer of passion fruit curd over the biscuit base in the verrines.
  7. Transfer the meringue into a piping bag and pipe spirals onto the curd.
  8. Use a blowtorch or broiler to lightly toast the meringue until golden brown.

Notes

Use high-quality passion fruit curd for the best flavor. A chill time is essential for clean layers in your verrines. For creative presentation, garnish with mint leaves or a drizzle of passion fruit pulp. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to two days; though the meringue may soften slightly, it's still delicious. Keep components separate for longer storage.
