## Steps

1. Pour the egg whites into a bowl and whisk with a mixer to a thick, stable foam.
2. Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan, place over heat and bring the syrup to 121°C.
3. Pour the hot syrup into the whisked egg whites in a thin stream, continuing to whisk until the mixture cools.
4. On two sheets of baking paper draw 22 cm circles and fill each with a spiral of meringue from the centre to the edge.
5. Switch to a star nozzle and pipe meringue swirls on top of one of the spirals.
6. Pipe a few small meringues in the free space beside the second disc for the side decoration.
7. Bake the sheets in an oven preheated to 70°C, keeping the door slightly open. (240 min)
8. Crumble the cooked small meringues into small pieces.
9. Bring the milk, cream and vanilla to a gentle simmer.
10. Mix the sugar, egg yolks and cornflour, then stir into the simmering milk.
11. Cook the custard, stirring, until thickened, remove from the heat and cover with cling film. (4 min)
12. Let the custard cool to room temperature, then place it in the fridge.
13. Prepare the second batch of meringue with 50 g egg whites, 30 g water and 100 g sugar.
14. Gently fold the meringue into the cooled custard, then add the whipped cream and crumbled meringue.
15. Assemble the cake: place the spiral disc, spread the filling, arrange the strawberries.
16. Cover with the second meringue disc and place the cake in the freezer. (150 min)
17. Coat the sides of the cake with whipped cream and decorate with crumbled meringue.
