Ingredients

  • 3 large egg whites
  • 150 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 medium mango
  • 1 medium apple
  • 30 g candied ginger
  • 100 g fruit jelly cubes
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 225°F (110°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a clean bowl, beat 3 egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add 150g sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1 tsp vinegar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.

  3. 3

    Spoon the meringue onto the prepared sheet in 6 large dollops, creating slight wells in the centers. Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let cool completely inside.

  4. 4

    While meringues cool, peel and dice 1 mango and 1 apple into small cubes. Slice 30g candied ginger into thin strips.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, whip 200ml heavy cream with 2 tbsp honey until soft peaks form.

  6. 6

    To serve, place a meringue on each plate. Top with diced fruit, candied ginger, and 100g fruit jelly cubes. Drizzle with extra honey and a spoonful of the honey cream.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately, as the meringue will soften if left to sit.
