A slightly deconstructed but entirely delicious take on dessert. Recipe by chef Scott Pickett, from Estelle Bistro, Saint Crispin, ESP and Pickett's Deli & Rotisserie.

Ingredients (5)

  • 4 eggwhites
  • 200g caster sugar
  • 2 Kensington Pride mangoes (substitute best available), cut into 5mm-thick slices
  • Finely grated zest and juice of 2 1/2 limes, plus extra lime cheeks to serve (we used Woolworths fresh limes
  • 2 cups (500g) mascarpone

Method

  • 1.
    Preheat oven to 90°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
  • 2.
    Place eggwhites and a pinch of fine salt in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk to soft peaks. Add sugar, 1 tbs at a time, whisking constantly until all sugar is added. Whisk for a further 8 minutes or until thick and glossy. Using a palette knife, spread mixture over prepared trays in a smooth 3mm-thick layer. Bake for 2 hours, swapping trays halfway, or until crisp and dry. Set aside to cool completely, then break into shards.
  • 3.
    Toss mango and zest and juice of 1/2 a lime in a bowl. Stand for 1 hour to marinate.
  • 4.
    Meanwhile, combine mascarpone with remaining lime zest and juice.
  • 5.
    Serve mango, mascarpone mixture and meringue shards with extra lime cheeks.
