6 medium egg whites 

330g caster sugar 

TO FILL AND DECORATE: 500ml double cream, selection of fresh fruit - we used figs, raspberries, clementines and pomegranate seeds 

SEGGIANO Chocolate Clementines 

SEGGIANO Super Dense Fig Balsamic Glaze 

Method 

Step 1 - Preheat the oven 

Preheat oven to 150 c 

Step 2 - Prepare the tray 

Line a large flat baking tray with non-stick baking paper and draw a 30cm circle in the centre of the paper. 

Step 3 - Beat the egg whites 

Use an electric whisk or stand mixer to beat the egg whites to soft peaks. Add the sugar a spoonful at a time and whisk on maximum speed until the egg white are glossy and hold stiff peaks when the whisk is removed.

Step 4 - Create the meringue wreath 

Spoon the meringue onto the baking paper in large spoonful’s using the circle you drew as a guide to create a wreath shape. Use the back of a spoon to create some swirls and create a shallow indentation for the cream and fruit to sit in. 

Step 5 - Bake the meringue 

Turn down the oven to 140 c and bake for 1.5 hours. Once cooked, turn the oven off and leave the meringue inside until it has cooled completely. 

Step 6 - Decorate the wreath 

When ready to decorate, carefully peel off the baking paper and transfer the meringue to a serving plate. Softly whip the cream and spoon over the meringue. Top with your chosen fruit and chopped chocolate covered clementines. 

Step 7 - To finish 

For the extra flourish, drizzle with Super Dense Fig Balsamic Glaze.

150ml double cream 

1 tsp vanilla paste or extract 

2 or 3 clementines - peeled and sliced 

Grated dark chocolate to garnish 

Method 

Step 1 - Prepare the glasses or bowls 

Break the Cantuccini into pieces and lay in the bottom of 4 glasses or small bowls. Reserve a few pieces for decoration. 

Step 2 - Mix the orange sauce 

Mix the mandarin conserve with the orange liqueur and water (use 5 tbsp of water as an alternative to the liqueur if you prefer a non-boozy trifle). Spoon over the Cantuccini, dividing it equally between the glasses. 

Step 3 - Whip the cream 

Softly whip the cream and vanilla together. 

Step 4 - Build the trifle 

Spoon the custard on top of the Cantuccini then alternate with slices of clementine to fill the glasses. Finish with a layer of whipped cream.

Opies Fruits With Alcohol. Make them part of your Christmas feasting and gifting

Opies Fruits with Alcohol are genuinely vital kitchen cupboard ingredients, which according to leading chefs, pack a real punch in home styled puddings.

NEW Opies Forest Fruits with Mulled Gin provides next-level flavouring to meringues, roulades, sparkling cocktails and more, besides. An abundance of forest fruits preserved in syrup flavoured with delicately spiced Mulled Gin.

And there are some marvellous inspirational on-pack Festive recipes for flavour-filled puddings to make at home.

It's also the ideal Christmas gift solution: It makes an attractive yet affordable stocking filler gift, an addition to a home-made hamper or a festive treat for hard-to-buy for family and friends who love food and who love to cook.

Whether you're a complete novice in the kitchen or your culinary efforts can rival those of a MasterChef champ, ingredients that easily transform home-styled dishes from zero to hero are surely an absolute must-have for your pantry?

Opies collection of Fruits steeped in syrup infused with alcohol can single-handedly revolutionise your menu: changing up the simple to the sublime and the mainstream to the moreish in a matter of mere minutes! 

Opies is working with internationally respected liqueur manufacturer and trader Luxardo®, whose legacy has been enjoyed by royalty and the world's foremost bartenders and cocktail wizards. Their high-quality spirits have been impeccably paired to perfectly balance the soft, succulent fruits that Opies carefully selects from top fruit suppliers.

With a host of recipe ideas available on-line and also on the pack, these flavoursome treats can be used in recipes to replace canned or even fresh fruits to significantly raise the flavour intensity of a favourite fruity dish. 

As they have incomparable quality, it's easy to transform roulades, strudels, pavlovas, even cakes and tray bakes, with a simple switch, or enjoy simply, with a good scoop of ice-cream or a generous glug of cream. (EDITOR: That tends to be the go-to method here at That's Christmas, to be honest. Well, in the spirit of honesty it's a generous glug-glug of cream! Though you can also use vegan cream alternatives should you wish.)

This precious Luxardo® syrup can be mixed with a little bit of water to make boozy ice cubes for cocktails, warmed and combined with gelatine and champagne to create grown-up festive jellies or drizzled over meats to make an absolutely extraordinary glaze.

Not only is the collection ideal for an impromptu need to cater for unexpected but very welcome festive guests (EDITOR: That's Christmas thinks Santa might like some with his traditional mince pies?) they also offer you the perfect gifting scenario and a welcome change from the more predictable bottle of wine or a box of chocs. From teachers and neighbours to friends and family and even that last-minute overlooked gift.

Opies Fruits with Alcohol collection includes:

Decadent whole Black Cherries steeped in syrup infused with Luxardo® Kirsch, ideal for the iconic Black Forest Gateau, but also sa urprisingly tasty accompaniment to goats' cheese.
