this pretty dessert which perhaps means meringue in Polish, came straight from the imagination of our friend Jacques Delfontaine who works as a chef and restaurateur in Burgundy near Chablis (see my Burgundy travel log). its biggest advantage is that it can vary constantly with the seasons

Ingredients for 4 servings

8 meringue discs 8 to 9cm in diameter (formed with a bowl)
4 tablespoons of cold pastry cream
¼ litre of vanilla ice cream or sorbet of your choice
various fruits changing every season: peaches pears apricots mirabelles berries etc

Raspberry coulis:

125g fresh or frozen raspberries blended with 50g caster sugar and a little lemon juice then strained through a chinois sieve.
for the pastry cream and meringue the recipes are on this site.

Step-by-step directions

the assembly:

1 in the middle of the plate, put a little pastry cream, then place a meringue disc (this way it won't slide on the plate).

2 put a nice quenelle of ice cream or sorbet (not too frozen)

3 replace the 2nd disc and coat it with the remaining pastry cream

4 arrange your fruits harmoniously alternating the colours
then put your coulis around and using a knife point make "commas" with the most beautiful effect.
