Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Rhubarb
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 120 milliliters Water
- 4 large Egg whites
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish and set aside.
Chop the rhubarb into small pieces, approximately 1/2-inch thick.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and the rhubarb softens, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy.
Add the salt and vanilla extract. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until stiff peaks form.
Spread the meringue evenly over the rhubarb mixture, ensuring it touches the edges of the dish to seal in the filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown on top.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
