Shortbread baskets with raspberries and meringue

Cookinero 20 Apr 2025

Meringue (or meringue) is a dessert that came to us from Europe. The delicacy was first mentioned in the 17th century in the cookbook of Francois Massialot. Initially, the dessert was served only at the royal table. But due to the simplicity of preparation and availability of ingredients, meringues began to be served in cafes and restaurants. Housewives began to cook it at home. Meringues can be an independent dish, but the taste of raspberry jam and the combination with a shortbread basket will complement it and make it an amazing dessert.

Shortbread baskets with raspberries and meringue - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, margarine can substitute butter, but it may slightly alter the flavor and texture of the shortbread. For best results, use a high-fat margarine.
Store the baked baskets in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 1 month.
Yes, you can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in a 1:1 ratio, but the texture may be slightly more crumbly.
Yes, you can omit the citric acid or substitute it with a few drops of lemon juice, which helps stabilize the meringue similarly.
Any fruit jam or curd, like strawberry, blueberry, or lemon, works well as a substitute for raspberry jam.
The recipe is already vegetarian as written. Ensure your sugar is vegan-friendly if accommodating a vegan diet, and replace the egg whites with aquafaba.
Yes, the dough can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for 1 month. Thaw in the fridge before shaping and baking.
Serve them chilled or at room temperature, garnished with fresh raspberries or mint leaves for an extra touch.
It’s best to freeze just the baked shortbread baskets. Assemble with jam and meringue before serving for optimal texture.
