Peach Melba Meringue Roulade

Hadn't made this one in years but it was plenty delicious and immediately got voted into the 'keep' pile.

Prep swiss roll tray with baking paper, heat oven to 150c. Prep mix of 1sp each of cornflour, vanilla essence, and white wine vinegar. Make meringue with 4 egg whites and 225g caster sugar, adding the conrflour mix at the end. Spread the meringue over the tray and sprinkle over with flaked almonds. Bake for about 40-50 minutes.

Meanwhile prep the filling. 150g double cream, whipped till thick. Fold in 200g Greek style yogurt and a couple tbsp icing sugar. Prep chopped fruit like raspberries, peaches (hence the 'Melba' but you could use any soft fruit combo you fancied).

When the meringue is ready, lay a clean teatowel out and dust with icing sugar. Flop the meringue out face down onto it. Cover the top with the cream, then dot over with the fruit. Roll up tightly into a log.

You can serve this with something like a raspberry or passion-fruit coulis. I got excited on this occasion and forgot about it - it was just fine.
