Ingredients

•  6 egg whites
•  315g (1 1/2 cups) caster sugar
•  1 teaspoon cornflour
•  100ml thickened cream, whipped to firm peaks
•  1 mango, peeled, thinly sliced
•  4 lychees, peeled, halved, deseeded
•  1 banana, peeled, sliced diagonally
•  2 passionfruit, halved
•  20g (1/4 cup) shredded coconut, lightly toasted

Lemon curd

•  3 eggs
•  170g (3/4 cup) caster sugar
•  2 teaspoon cornflour
•  2 lemons, juiced
•  2 limes, rind finely grated, juiced
•  20g butter, chopped

1. Step 1

   Preheat the oven to 140C/120C fan forced. Use electric beaters to beat the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form.

2. Step 2

   Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until dissolved and mixture is thick and glossy. If mixture is grainy when rubbed between your fingers, continue beating. Beat in cornflour.

3. Step 3

   Draw a 22cm circle on a sheet of baking paper. Place paper, ink-side down, on a baking tray, with meringue on each corner of paper as a glue. Spoon meringue onto circle.

4. Step 4

   Smooth around the edge of meringue. Use a spatula to create swirls and peaks on top. Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes or until crisp and dry. Turn oven off. Leave meringue in oven, with door ajar, to cool completely.

5. Step 5

   Meanwhile, for curd, whisk eggs, sugar and cornflour in a saucepan. Add lemon and lime juice and rind. Cook over medium heat, whisking, for 5-8 minutes, until thickened. Stir in butter. Cool to room temperature.

6. Step 6

   Place in the fridge for 2-3 hours to chill. Gently fold cream and curd together in a bowl to create a marbled effect. Spoon over meringue.Top with mango, lychee and banana. Drizzle with passion fruit. Sprinkle with coconut.
