Mango, lime, mascarpone and meringue
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.
