MAKE IT!
Recipe by Micail Chepi, group executive chef for the Argentum Group
1 To make the meringue, whisk 80g egg whites, 80g caster sugar and 80g icing sugar in an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Line a tray with baking paper and spread a 5mm-thick layer on it, then bake for 1 hour in a 100 deg C oven. Turn the heat off and leave the meringue in the oven with the door open for at least 5 hours, until dry.
2 To make the Devonshire cream, whisk 360g whipping cream and 15g sifted icing sugar in the mixer until soft peaks form, then add 180g mascarpone and whisk until stiff peaks form.
3 To serve, break the meringue into small pieces and place in small glasses, then top with the Devonshire cream and quartered strawberries.
