Ingredients

• 500 grams Rhubarb
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 120 milliliters Water
• 4 large Egg whites
• 100 grams Powdered sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Chop the rhubarb into small pieces, approximately 1/2-inch thick.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and the rhubarb softens, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy.

Step 5

Add the salt and vanilla extract. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until stiff peaks form.

Step 6

Spread the meringue evenly over the rhubarb mixture, ensuring it touches the edges of the dish to seal in the filling.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown on top.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
