water and simmer without stirring.

mould over the oiled base of a small bowl. Leave to set.

caramel bowl.

heat, until it reaches soft ball stage clear and soft but not golden.
Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. Pour the sugar in while continuing to
whisk, until the mixture thickens.

the remaining meringue into a piping bag and then pipe over the top. Blow
torch the meringue or place carefully under a grill until golden.

9 Blitz the raspberries (reserving a few for decoration) with the sugar in

sugar and place on top. Dress with the mint leaves and reserved raspberries
