Ingredients

  • 4 egg whites
  • 220g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp cornflour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 15g flaked almonds
  • 125g fresh raspberries
  • 1 kiwifruit, peeled and sliced
  • Pulp of 1 passionfruit
  • 300ml whipping cream
  • Icing sugar, for dusting

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C and line your nöni™ baking tray with baking paper. Scatter flaked almonds over the tray and bake until golden. Set toasted almonds aside and allow the tray to cool. Turn oven down to 140°C.
  2. Add egg whites to a stand mixer bowl and whisk on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  3. Add caster sugar ¼C at a time, mixing well between each addition, until the meringue is very thick and glossy and holds its shape.
  4. Add cornflour and vanilla and mix until just combined.
  5. Using a spatula, spread the meringue onto the baking paper-lined tray to an even depth of 1.5cm, leaving a 1cm gap from the edge. Smooth the top.
  6. Bake until a crust forms and the meringue is cooked through — about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and slide the baking paper with the meringue off the tray. Allow to cool completely.
  7. Whilst the base is cooling, whip the cream until thick.
  8. When the meringue is completely cold, return (with baking paper) to the cold tray. Spread an even 1cm thick layer of cream over the meringue, leaving a 1cm gap from the edge. Scatter ¾ of the fruit over the cream layer.
  9. Starting from one of the short sides, roll up the meringue slowly and as tightly as possible, peeling the baking paper away as you go. Place seam-side down on the tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  10. Just before serving, top with piped cream, more fruit pieces and the flaked almonds. Drizzle fresh passionfruit over the top and dust with icing sugar.
