Meringue mousse cake (or better known in my house as 'the flop'

Just before we get started - this is supposed to look like this...

Mine turned out like this...

First time with meringue was not a good one and our shitty NZ summer has meant I couldn't find strawberries anywhere! AND  I couldn't find strawberry mousse at our local supermarket so decided instant pudding would be a good substitute - wrong! But everyone loves a trier :D

4 eggs whites
3/4 cup sugar
70g sachet of colour free raspberry cordial granules
70g packet of chocolate mousse
70g packet of strawberry mousse
300ml cream
1T icing sugar
1t strawberry essence
Strawberries


Beat egg whites until stiff.  Beat in sugar and cordial granules - continue beating the mixture until smooth and glossy.


Mark 4 20cm circles on baking paper.  Spread 1/4 of the meringue mixture on each marker baking paper to make four discs. Bake at 150 degrees celcius for 30 mins or until meringue is dry and crisp.  Cool in oven.


Make mousse to packet directions.

Place a meringue disc on a serving plate.  Spread with half the chocolate mousse. Top with a second disc and spread half the strawberry mousse.  Repeat this process finishing with a layer of strawberry mousse.


Beat cream until sot peaks form.  Fold in icing sugar and strawberry essence.  Pile on top of strawberry mousse and top with strawberries.  Serve cut into wedges.
