Ingredients
- 6 egg whites
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cup passion fruit
- 1 1/2 cup blackberries
- 1 1/2 cup quartered strawberries
Preparation
Baking Directions:
1.Preheat the oven to 450 F.
2.In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites and salt until peaks begin to form.
3.Gradually add 1/4 cup of sugar, then the cream of tartar and vanilla, whisking all the while at high speed, until the whites are stiff and glossy.
4.Butter a jelly roll pan, then spread evenly with the meringue mixture.
5.Put in the oven, close the door, immediately switch off the oven, and leave overnight, without opening or even thinking of peeking.
6.When you want to serve it, remove to a large platter.
7.Whisk the cream until thick but still soft and spread over the marshmallow-meringue.
8.Scoop out the seeds and pulp of the passion fruit and dot over the cream in parts.
Tumble over the blackberries.
Toss the quartered strawberries in the remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar and arrange them on the cream, too.
9.Cut into slices; I cut 3 down and 2 across.
