Ingredients
- 500 g Fresh rhubarb (chopped into 1-inch pieces)
- 150 g Granulated sugar (for rhubarb filling)
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 120 ml Water
- 3 Egg whites
- 100 g Granulated sugar (for meringue)
- 0.25 tsp Cream of tartar
- 0.5 tsp Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches).
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar (150 g), cornstarch, and water.
Step 3
Cook the rhubarb mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the rhubarb softens and the mixture thickens (about 10–12 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4
Pour the cooked rhubarb filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Step 5
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy.
Step 6
Add the cream of tartar and continue beating on high speed. Gradually add the granulated sugar (100 g), one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture forms stiff, glossy peaks.
Step 7
Beat in the vanilla extract for a few seconds to combine.
Step 8
Spread the meringue evenly over the rhubarb filling, ensuring it touches the edges of the dish to seal.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown on top.
Step 10
Allow the dessert to cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Optionally, chill in the refrigerator before serving for a cooler dessert.
