Makes: 5

Prep time: 15 minutes

Baking time: 45 minutes

 

Ingredients

• 4 large egg whites

• 210g caster sugar

• 210g icing sugar

• 10g cornflour

• 1 jar of Vanilla Bean Patisserie Passion Fruit Curd

• 10 fresh raspberries

• 1 passion fruit

• 5 sprigs basil

 

Method

• Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set to one side.

• Preheat your oven to 120°C/100°C fan.

• Into a clean dry bowl add the room temperature fresh egg whites.

• Whisk for 2 minutes on full speed until doubled in size and start adding the caster sugar.

• Mix until thick.

• At this point start adding the icing sugar and cornflour and mix on full speed again until thick and glossy.

• Spoon the meringue into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle.

• Stick the baking paper down to the tray with some of the mix and pipe 5 meringue nests on the lined tray.

• If you don’t have a piping bag or nozzle, you can simply spoon 5 large meringue mounds onto the tray instead. Hollow out the centre to allow space for the curd later.

• Bake in the pre-heated oven for 45 minutes and then turn the oven off and allow to cool fully inside.

• To serve, simply spoon some of the Vanilla Bean Patisserie, Passion Fruit Curd into the centre of the meringues and top with passion fruit wedges, raspberries and fresh basil.

• Tuck in and enjoy.

 

Top Tip: Mix up the fillings by adding the lime or lemon curd and different fruit garnishes.
