Ingredients:
- 4 egg whites
- 8 oz caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cornflour
- 500ml double cream
- 1 tbsp icing sugar
- 1/2 pineapple
- 3 kiwifruits
Method:
- Whisk the egg whites until they are stiff.
- Whisk the caster sugar into the egg whites, one teaspoon at a time, until all the sugar has been added.
- Whisk in the cornflour.
- Place some baking paper on your baking tray and spread the meringue mixture on top in a circle shape (roughly 23 cm diameter, but it can be bigger or smaller depending on what you want).
- Make sure your sides are slightly higher than the centre of the meringue.
- Place in the oven at 150 degrees celsius for an hour.
- Your meringue should be firm to touch and have a pale beige colour.

- For the cream, whisk together the double cream and the icing sugar until it is stiff.
- Spread the cream over the meringue and add your chopped fresh fruit just before serving.
