Ingredients

Meringue

  • 6 egg whites (225 ml)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1½ cups (260 g) caster sugar
  • 1½ tsp white vinegar
  • 2 tsp cornflour

 

Lime Honey

 

Topping

  • 600 ml cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp Capilano Pure Honey
  • 2 mangoes, peeled & thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup coconut flakes, lightly toasted
  • ¼ cup pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1 lime
  1. Preheat the oven to 120ºC. Line a baking tray with baking paper and draw a 22cm circle in the centre.
  2. Whisk the egg whites and salt using an electric mixer on medium until soft peaks form, or for approximately 3-4 minutes. With the mixer still running, add the sugar 1 Tbsp at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until thick and glossy.
  3. Spoon the mixture onto the baking paper, keeping the meringue inside the circle drawn on the paper. Smooth the edges with a spatula and form high sides, leaving a slight depression in the centre.
  4. Bake for 90 minutes, or until the meringue is dry to the touch and not coloured. Turn the oven off and let the meringue cool completely for 3-4 hours.
  5. Meanwhile, make the lime honey by adding honey to a small non-stick pan. Finely grate the zest from the one lime over the honey, then add its juice. Heat the honey over low heat, allowing it to simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and let it cool completely. If the lime honey is too thick when cooled, stir through a little hot water to dilute it.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk the cream, vanilla and 2 Tbsp of honey until soft peaks form.
  7. Lay the cooled meringue onto a serving plate. Fill the top of the meringue with the whipped honey cream, then arrange the thinly sliced mango over the cream.
  8. Drizzle over the honey lime, scatter with toasted coconut flakes and pistachios. Finely grate the zest of the second lime straight over the pavlova. Serve immediately.
