INGREDIENTS:
  • 400g passionfruit yoghurt (reduced sugar)
  • 250g strawberries
  • 125g blueberries
  • 1 mango
  • 2 large eggs
  • 100g caster sugar
METHOD:
  • Pre-heat oven to 120°C (fan forced) or 100°C (standard)
  • Line two baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
  • Separate the egg whites while the eggs are fridge cold.
  • Place egg whites in a large clean, dry bowl. Use an electric mixer to whisk egg whites until soft peaks form and there is no liquid whites left.
  • With the electric mixer still going, add the sugar one tablespoon at a time.
  • After the sugar is added, increase the speed and whisk on high for 2 minute. Meringue mixture should be glossy and when you rub between fingers, there should be barely any sugar grit.
  • Add mixture in small dollops onto baking tray lined with baking paper, making 8 little 'nests.'
  • Bake for approximately 30 minutes, then turn off the oven, keep the door closed and leave to cool. Meringue should be dry and able to be lift off the paper.
  • To assemble, chop fruit of choice into small pieces. Add yoghurt to meringue, top with fruit as desired. Enjoy.
