    Hi, I've just attempted to make this, but my egg whites flopped once the sugar was finished being added. Any suggestions??? My egg whites were at room temp, the bowl was clean and dry etc.... They rose well initially, it was after I added the sugar (gradually) that they flopped. Help!

    I made this Xmas day but rather use the chocolate sauce I used cream, raspberrie, blueberriEs and strawberrie, it was lovely and easy.
