"It's no secret that gooseberries and meringue go perfectly together. This dessert in a glass is no exception. Don't let the meringue and sponge cake intimidate you, because with this recipe they're sure to succeed. For that extra kick, marinate the gooseberries and stir in creamy fresh yogurt. If you can't find gooseberries, you can of course use other berries. Make sure you don't choose berries that are too sweet. Raspberries, for example, are a great alternative!

To make the sponge cake bits, toast the ground almonds in the oven at 180°C/350ºF, then set aside to cool, and mix with flour. Separate the eggs and whisk the egg yolks until foamy. Whisk the egg whites a little with a pinch of salt and slowly add the sugar, then beat until stiff. Gently mix the beaten egg whites with the egg yolks and fold in the flour-nut-mix. Bake in a cake form or casserole dish (approx. 14 x 12 cm) lined with baking paper at 190°C/375ºF for 8-12 min.

Mix yogurt, honey, lemon zest and juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Remove the blossom and stalk from the gooseberries and marinate them with orange zest and juice and brown sugar.
Step 3/4
- 1 eggs

- 30 g sugar
For the meringue, separate the eggs and beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt, slowly adding the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
