Matt’s Rosella and Native Mint Meringue Roulade
Ingredients
150g Rosella Jam (*see note)
4 egg whites
150g castor sugar
1 tsp cornflour
1 tsp white vinegar
300ml cream, whipped
¼ cup native mint (or regular mint) Icing sugar for dusting
1/3 cup water
2 tsp agar powder
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line a 25 x 40cm baking tray with baking
paper.
2. Beat the egg whites using the whisk attachment of an electric mixer until they form soft peaks. Slowly add the sugar and beat for 5 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Gently fold in the vinegar and cornflour and spread the meringue in an
even layer on the lined tray. Bake for 20 minutes at 160°C.
4. Lay out a clean tea towel and cover with a piece of baking paper. 5. Sprinkle evenly with icing sugar and turn the meringue out onto the
baking paper.
6. Peel away the lining paper and replace with a new piece of baking paper, then roll up tightly in the tea towel, starting from the short side. Allow to completely cool then unroll and remove the top sheet of baking paper.
7. Spread evenly with the whipped cream and generously spoon on the
rosella jam.
8. Sprinkle with half of the mint leaves and roll tightly into a log, using
the bottom sheet of baking paper as an aid (like using a sushi mat). 9. Gently transfer to a serving platter and dust generously with icing
sugar.
10. 9. Serve each slice sprinkled with the remaining mint.
