Serves 4
Prep Time 10 mins
Cooking Time 1 hour approx
Ingredients for the meringue

* 4 Free range egg whites
* 250g/9oz Caster /superfine sugar
* 2 Tsp Corn flour, sieved
* Splash of White wine vinegar
* Few drops of vanilla extract

Method for the meringue

* Make a round cut out using greaseproof paper of approx 20cm-25cm, place on a large baking tray
* Beat the egg whites until they form peaks
* Slowly pour in the caster sugar a little at a time and keep beating until the mixture becomes shiny but firm
* Add the vanilla extract and vinegar together with the corn flour and gently fold into the meringue
* Spoon the meringue onto the greaseproof cut out, almost to the edges
* Place on the middle shelf of a pre heated oven 180° C/350° F/Gas mark 4
* Turn the temperature down immediately to 150° C/300° F/Gas mark 2
* Bake for 1 hour and check, press lightly in the middle with your fingers, if spongy in the middle, it’s done. If not leave for another 5-10 mins
* Turn of the heat and open the cooker door slightly, leave the meringue to cool and dry out completely

Ingredients for the Topping

* 320ml Double/heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
* I prepared all the fruit except the strawberries and refrigerated
* 8 Passion fruits cut in half and pulp scooped out
* 1 Mango, stone removed, peeled and cut into editable chunks
* 10 Fresh pineapple chunks
* 6 Strawberries, roughly chopped
* Mint leaves and icing sugar for decoration

Method

* When ready to serve, place a large plate gently over the meringue, holding the plate and baking tray together, turn over so it sits on the meringue peaks, you’ve now got a flat surface to work on
