Chocolate Meringue with Mixed Fruit Compote

1. Preheat after the oven to 110 degree C / 225 degree F / Gas 1/4. Grease and line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper.

2. Make the meringues. Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff.  Gradually whisk in half the caster sugar, then fold in the remaining sugar, using metal spoon.  Gently fold in the grated chocolate.

3. Spoon the meringue mixture into a large piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle.  Pipe small rounds on to the prepared baking sheets.

4. Bake for 2 1/2 - 3 hours until the meringues are firm and crisp, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

5. Meanwhile, make the compote. Heat the fruit juice in a saucepan with the honey until almost boiling.

6. Place the mixed fresh berries in a large bowl and pour over the hot fruit juice and honey mixture.  Stir gently to mix, then set aside and leave to cool.  Once cool, cover the bowl and chill until required.

7. When ready to serve, sandwich the cold meringue with the crème fraiche and arrange them on a serving plate to dish.

8. Serve the meringue immediately on individual plates with the mixed fruit compote.
