Instructies
- Preheat your oven to 170°C.
- Line two large baking sheets with baking paper.
- In a large heatproof mixing bowl, combine the egg whites and caster sugar.
- Place the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water.
- Using a handheld electric whisk, beat the egg whites and sugar until the sugar has dissolved.
- When the mixture feels warm, remove the bowl from the heat and continue to whisk for 4-5 minutes until you have a smooth, stiff meringue.
- Fold through most of the grated lime zest, reserving a little for decoration.
- Spoon 6 even-sized 10cm (4in) mounds onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced well apart.
- Using the back of a spoon, make a dip in the center of each mound to create a nest shape.
- Place the meringues in the oven, reduce the heat to 140°C, and bake for 1 hour.
- Then, turn off the oven and open the door slightly to allow the meringues to cool completely.
- For the coconut cream filling, place the coconut cream, double cream, icing sugar, and vanilla in a bowl.
- Beat until soft peaks form.
- Spoon the cream into the center of each meringue nest, arrange slices of kiwi on top, and sprinkle with the remaining lime zest.
