How to Make Overnight Raspberry Or Strawberry Meringue Torte

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat 6 large egg whites with an electric mixer at medium speed until foamy.
  3. Add 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar and beat for 1 minute.
  4. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until well blended.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Increase mixer speed to high and beat for 5 minutes, or until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  7. Generously butter a 10-inch springform pan.
  8. Spoon the meringue into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
  9. Use a knife to gently break up any large air pockets in the meringue.
  10. Place the pan in the preheated 450°F (232°C) oven.
  11. Immediately turn off the oven. Leave the meringue in the closed oven to cool completely for at least 24 hours.
  12. Meanwhile, prepare the berry sauce: Drain 2 cups fresh raspberries (or strawberries), reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid.
  13. Place the drained berries in a food processor and puree until smooth.
  14. Press the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to yield 1 1/4 cups of sauce.
  15. Discard any solids.
  16. Stir in the reserved 1/4 cup of berry liquid.
  17. Carefully remove the meringue from the springform pan.
  18. Spoon the cooled meringue into individual serving bowls or slices.
  19. Drizzle generously with the raspberry (or strawberry) sauce.
  20. Top with whipped cream (optional).
