Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 Large egg whites at room temperature
- 175 grams (⅚ cup ) White granulated sugar fine sugar/caster sugar
- 2 Mango
- 4 Passion fruit
- ½ Lemon juice
- 600 ml (2½ cups ) Cream use double cream/heavy cream
Instructions
How to make meringue
- Preheat the oven to 150C/300F and line an oven tray with parchment paper.
- Make the meringue by whisking egg whites in a bowl or stand mixer until they turn white, increase in volume, and form soft peaks.
- Slowly add the sugar whilst whisking, until it has fully incorporated and you have a glossy white meringue with stiff peaks.
- Pipe small mounds of meringue onto the baking tray (or use a spoon) and bake for 20 minutes, then turn the oven off.
- If possible, let the meringue cool in the oven for another hour or as long as you can to let it dry out, without opening the door.
How to make Eton Mess
- Peel the mango and cut it into cubes. Reserve some for garnish and place the rest into a blender.
- Cut the passion fruit in half and scoop out the flesh and seeds. Push half of the flesh/seeds through a sieve to collect just the juice, then blend this up with the mango and lemon juice to form the puree.
- Whip the cream until it is thick and gloopy.
- Serve the Eton Mess by placing the meringue and cream into bowls or onto a plate and garnishing with the puree, reserved mango cubes, and some more of the passion fruit.
Notes
I often bake meringue in the evening, turn the oven off and leave it in there overnight to dry out.
Use an oven thermometer to ensure you are baking at the right temperature, and do not use the oven fan. Little meringues like this will burn easily at higher temperatures! Be cautious if you have an overenthusiastic oven.
If your puree is too thin, reduce it in a saucepan over medium heat to thicken it to your desired consistency.
