How to make the Cherry-Raspberry Jubilee Trifle
First we make the meringue
Vanilla flavor, but you can also replace the vanilla with cherry syrup then your meringue will be a lovely pink ;) (how to is on the recipe)
Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
Place the bowl on boiling water.
Put in the egg whites and vanilla.

Whisk until the temperature reached 65-70°C.
Move the mixture to the stand mixer.
Beat the meringue until it holds shape.
Preheat the oven to 90°C and place baking paper on the baking tray
Spoon the meringue into a piping bag.
Pipe rosettes of meringue on the baking tray.
Let the meringue dry for 2 hours in the middle of the oven.
Place the baking tray on a wire rack and let the meringue cool.
Your meringue is made and while it cools completely you make the vanilla custard
