instructions
For the Berry Compote

In a small pot, heat the frozen berries, water, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Allow sauce to thicken. Remove and set aside to cool. Remember as the sauce cools it will thicken.

For the marshmallow fluff

In a large heatproof bowl, mix the sugar, egg white, water and cream of tartar ; place the bowl over a pot of boiling water; on a medium heat. Using an electric egg beater, whisk vigorously for 7-10 minutes or until the mixture forms soft peaks. Remove from heat and add the salt and essence. Set aside to cool.
Fold half of the cooled compote through the fluff and set aside until ready to serve.
Plate the BAKERS Blue Label® Marie, spread remaining compote over the Marie biscuits.
Top with a spoonful of marshmallow fluff
Serve garnished with orange zest and grated white chocolate .
