To prepare a delicious dessert, we start with the essential step of beating the egg whites. Using a mixer, the egg whites are beaten until a firm and shiny foam is obtained. It is important that the bowl and the mixer blades are perfectly clean to allow the egg whites to whip properly.
In a separate saucepan, combine water with sugar and place it over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture begins to boil. Let the syrup boil for a few minutes until it reaches a slightly viscous consistency. Once the syrup is ready, carefully pour it over the beaten egg whites, continuing to mix at high speed. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, giving it a fluffy and airy texture.
After mixing well, allow the mixture to cool slightly. It is essential not to add the yolks and the other ingredients when the foam is very hot to avoid curdling the eggs. Once we feel we have reached a moderate temperature, we begin to add the yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure they are fully integrated.
The next step is to gradually add the oil while continuously mixing. Salt is added to enhance the flavors, and then we begin to incorporate the flour, sifting it directly into the mixture. This will prevent lumps from forming and ensure a fine texture. We mix until the ingredients are perfectly combined, being careful not to overmix, as we want to keep the foam aerated.
We prepare the baking tray by greasing it with oil and sprinkling grated cookies to form a crunchy and delicious base. These cookies will add a pleasant texture to the dessert. Carefully pour the batter into the tray, leveling it off with a spatula.
To finish the preparation, we add seasonal fruits, whether strawberries, raspberries, or peaches, on top of the batter. These will not only add a touch of freshness but also a contrast of flavors, making the dessert even more appealing.
After completing the preparation stage, we place the tray in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the surface is golden brown and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let it cool slightly before cutting and serving. This dessert will surely be appreciated by all who taste it!
