Ingredients
  

  • 6 egg whites
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornflour
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 dash vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream to serve
  • Fresh fruits to serve
  • Mint leaves to serve

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 150°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and give it a quick spray of oil—no sticky disasters here!
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites, sugar, cornflour, vinegar, and vanilla with an electric mixer. Whisk until the mixture is thick, glossy, and sugar-free (well, dissolved 😉). About 8 minutes will do the trick!
  3. Spoon the mixture onto your prepared tray, shaping it into a big, round disc. Don’t forget to make a slight dip in the middle—your toppings will thank you later.
  4. Pop it into the oven and immediately lower the temp to 120°C. Bake for 60–90 minutes, checking after the hour mark. You’re looking for a crispy outside and soft, marshmallowy inside!
  5. Once it’s baked to perfection, let it cool completely. Easiest way? Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let it chill.
  6. Now the fun part: top with whipped cream, fresh fruits, and a sprig of mint. It’s almost too pretty to eat…almost!
