Bakewell Meringues For Afternoon Tea. Summer Inspire Recipe. Happy Saturday friends!
I am always sharing my love of Bakewell on the blog because of my love for it. Also today I have a Bakewell inspired meringue recipe to share with you.
We had a lovely day out in Bakewell last week and it is one of my favourite places in England to visit.
We love to take a walk around the peaks, shops, river, a walk up to the Church. Then we usually pick a nice cake to take home with us after our fish and chips.

How To Make Bakewell Meringues: Summer Inspire Recipe:
Today I am sharing a Bakewell inspired recipe with you: Fancy making some Bakewell inspired Meringues? Because these would look great for afternoon tea, wouldn’t they?
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 8 Amaretti biscuits
For The Compote:
- 250g cherries, stoned (fresh or frozen)
- 2tsp lemon juice
- 30g sugar
For The Meringue:
- 2 egg whites
- 60g caster sugar
- 2tbsp almond butter
How To Make Bakewell Meringues Method:
Firstly, Heat the oven to 160C/140C Fan/ Gas 3. Crush the amaretti biscuits and tip into the bottom of 4 ramekins or ovenproof bowls.
To make the compote, heat the cherries, lemon juice and sugar, bring to a simmer and cook for 10 mins until the cherries soften and the sauce becomes syrupy.
Set aside to cool.
Secondly, In a clean bowl whisk the egg whites to a soft peak, add half the sugar and continue to whisk till shiny.
Add the remaining sugar bit by bit whilst whisking. In a separate bowl stir a spoonful of the meringue into the almond butter to loosen it then tip it back into the meringue bowl and fold in gently to create a ripple effect.
Thirdly, Divide the compote between the ramekins then pipe or spoon the meringue on top.
Bake for 30mins until the meringue is puffed up and golden.

We have a few beautiful Peak District day trip days out lately. Starting with Chatsworth House.
Visiting Chatsworth House is like stepping into a storybook, and my recent trip felt nice and magical.
Especially after only watching Pride And Prejudice for the first time ever, a few weeks ago.
Dressed in my light blue polka dot dress, I wandered through the grand estate, soaking in the beauty of the gardens, historic architecture, and then we visited the charming tea rooms.
