INGREDIENTS
400ml (14fl oz) double cream
150g (5oz) caster sugar
25g (1oz) icing sugar, to dust
2 tsp cornflour
175g (6oz) mango, chopped
5 large egg wнιтes
4 pαssion fruits, seeds scooped out
10g (¼oz) desiccated coconut, to garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius/130 degrees Celsius fan/300 degrees Fahrenheit/Gas 2. Greaseproof paper a 30cm × 20cm (11 ¾ in x 8 in) swiss roll tin.
Whisk the egg wнιтes to stiff peaks with an electric whisk, then gradually whisk in the caster sugar until the mixture is stiff and glossy. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornflour and salt.
In the prepared Swiss roll tray, spread out the meringue evenly and bake for 1 hour. Allow to cool completely in the tin before moving to the next steps.
Sprinkle the icing sugar over a sheet of greaseproof paper on the work surface. Carefully slide the meringue out onto the paper and take away the backing sheet. Reverse the process with caution.
Whip the cream to soft peaks using an electric whisk, then distribute over the meringue, leaving a 1cm border around the edge. Sprinkle the mango and pαssion fruit on top, then spoon the pαssion fruit pulp on top.
Using the greaseproof paper, carefully roll up one of the short ends of the meringue nearest to you into a roulade. To serve, dust with icing sugar and top with desiccated coconut.
