Time 2h

Yield Ten servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Butter for greasing the pans
Flour for dusting the pans
6 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups superfine sugar
3 teaspoons cornstarch
3 teaspoons cider vinegar
2 large ripe mangos
2 cups whipping cream
1 pint cleaned blueberries
1 pint cleaned raspberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
  • Butter and flour a cookie sheet and the ring of a bottomless nine-inch springform mold. Set the ring in the center of the cookie sheet.
  • Beat the egg whites and the salt in a mixing bowl until foamy. Add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites, until shiny and stiff. Do not overbeat or they will be dry and grainy.
  • Dissolve the cornstarch with the cider vinegar in a small bowl. Fold the mixture into the egg whites.
  • Spoon the egg-white mixture into the prepared mold and build it up along the sides approximately one inch thick, leaving a one-inch depression in the center.
  • Bake for one and one-half hours and cool. The meringue will sink away from the crust while cooling; do not be concerned. When the meringue is completely cool, unmold by removing the ring gently, and loosen the bottom of the meringue shell from the cookie sheet with a knife or spatula. Put the shell on a serving plate.
  • Peel the mangos and cut the flesh away from the pits. Puree it in a food processor or blender.
  • Whip the cream in a chilled mixing bowl until it forms a stiff peak.
  • Fill the depression in the middle of the meringue with the mango puree. Spread the whipped cream on the meringue, starting from the sides and leaving a three-inch circle of the mango puree exposed in the center. Garnish the edge and sides of the cake with the blueberries and raspberries.
