Have you guys ever made a meringue roulade? It's a delicious, light, yet decadent dessert. This is one of my favorites in the late summer when rhubarb is in season.

For the meringue

4 large egg whites
175g caster sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp cornflour
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp icing sugar, sifted for dusting
For the filling
400g trimmed rhubarb
50g caster sugar
200ml double cream
1/2 tsp rosewater

First of all, line an approx. 2cm x 35cm x 25cm baking tray, completely lined with non-stick baking paper and lightly oiled.

Pre-heat the oven to 160C/140C fan ovens/Gas 3

To make the meringue, whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Using an electric whisk will make the job far easier. Add half of the caster sugar and continue to whisk for a couple of minutes.

Mix the cornfour into the remaining sugar, and add to the egg whites with the lemon juice and vanilla extract. Whisk until you have a firm, glossy consistency, a bit like shaving foam. This will take a good few minutes. Spoon and spread into the prepared baking tray. Place in the oven and cook for 25 minutes.

In the meantime, cut the rhubarb into 3-4cm lengths and place in a saucepan with the sugar and 1 tbsp of water. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning a couple of times with a metal spoon, trying not to let all of the pieces become too mushy.

Remove the cooked meringue from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for a few minutes, and then carefully turn out onto a piece of baking paper heavily dusted with icing sugar. Cool completely.

Whip the cream with the rose water until it forms soft peaks. Fold in the rhubarb and then spread over the meringue, leaving a border of about 2cm. Carefully and loosely roll the meringue lengthways into a fat cylinder shape. Transfer to a serving plate and serve.

PS,

The rhubarb can be swapped for any other fruits, such as cooked bramley apple, plums or gooseberries. Strawberries, raspberries or blackberries (about 400g) are also really lovely, especially if you puree half of them before folding into the cream.

This thread convinced me that Star Citizen was never coming out in time for me to get a full refund so, Thank you all for the reality check!

Shame on Chris Robber and Co. for deceiving sad nerds.

Hopefully when this entire poo poo show finally falls apart, his name will live on in infamy with other such visionaries like Bernie Madoff and Jeffery Skilling.

If you want to play a space game, play Elite: Dangerous. It is both cool and good, and as a bonus, it's also real and not just a fluffed and buffed turd of a tech demo.
