Production

20 min preparation time
2h cooking time
Total time 2h20

Ingredients / for 8 people

For the meringue:
240 g egg whites (i.e. approx. 6 large eggs)
400 g caster sugar
A few drops of lime juice

For the whipped cream:
20 cl very cold liquid cream
1 heaped tablespoon fresh cream
1 tablespoon icing sugar
One vanilla pod

For the fruit:
250 g de Gariguette strawberries
A few leaves of mint
Grated zest of a lime

Preparation

Prepare the meringue: Preheat the oven to 90°C. Whisk together the egg whites, lime juice and 1 tablespoon caster sugar slowly to mix them well. Then pour in the rest of the sugar in one go. Whisk on top speed for a few minutes until you obtain a smooth, shiny meringue.
On a sheet of baking paper, make 8 discs of about 15 cm diameter using a spoon or an icing bag. They must be thick enough to be able to make a small hollow in their centres. Cook for 1h at 90°C then another 1h at 85°C. Leave to cool down completely on a grill.

Prepare the cream: Slice the vanilla pod in half and remove the seeds. In a very cold large bowl, whisk together the liquid cream, the fresh cream, the icing sugar and the vanilla until you obtain a light, fluffy cream. Place in the fridge.
Hull the strawberries, cut them in half if they are too big.

Assembling: Make sure your meringues have totally cooled down. Place 2 big spoonfuls of vanilla-flavoured whipped cream on each meringue disc. Place the fruit on top of the cream. To decorate, chop up a few mint leaves and grate the lime zest then sprinkle over the pavlova to add a touch of freshness.

Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité Church

The Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité was built in the 12th century. This Romanesque monument has been considerably altered over the years, so that only the foundations are original today.
The walls, for example, were raised shortly after the Hundred Years' War to allow for the construction of refuge rooms in the attic. The Romanesque facade, on the other hand, was reworked during the Gothic period.

The use of grison, a local grey stone that is very common in this part of the Charente, limited the sculpted decoration to its strictest expression, as this stone is unsuitable for sculpture. On the other hand, the church has a painted fresco, rediscovered in the sanctuary during restoration work.

Like all medieval churches, Notre-Dame de Brossac was once surrounded by a cemetery, which was abandoned in 1843. On the outside, in the north wall of the nave, two funerary vaults remain, intended to house the burial of high-ranking.
