Red Berry Meringue Pie

By dette

This pie calls for no pastry, so while it still contains a bit of sugar it has virutally no fat. It's also easy to make and tastes aabsolutely delicious. The slightly sharp taste of the fruit is cut by the sweet meringue. The almonds add extra crunch and texture, and the fat they contain is a healthy fat.

Ingredients

• 4 oz whole, unblanched almonds
• 1 1/2 c strawberries
• 1 1/2 c raspberries
• 1 1/2 c blueberries
• 3 egg whites
• 6 oz generous 3/4 cup sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Divid the almonds between the four ramekins and place on the bottom.

Wash and prepare the fruit, hullling the strawberries but leaving them whole. Then mix the berries together and put on top of the almonds. Make sure you fill the ramekins to only halfway.

Preferably with and electric whisk, whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl until they form stiff peaks.

Adsd half the sugar and whisk again until the mixture "shines".

Fold in the remaining sugar and divide the meringue between the four dishes.

Bake in the oven for 15 mintues. Then remove and leave to cool for aobut 5 mintues before serving. Be careful, because the fruit will be extremely hot!
