Cherry with meringue topping
Description
Perfect for tea and coffee. If you're on a diet but craving something sweet and delicious, make cherry meringue dessert — no high-calorie ingredients or flour. This recipe uses cherries as the filling, but you can also use blueberries, red or black currants, or raspberries. For best results, beat the egg whites with powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar — this will make the meringue lighter and fluffier. Use 15% or 20% sour cream for the batter — it will be thicker and hold its shape better. The baked good is ready. Serve at the table.
