Ingredients

Method

1.Preheat oven to slow, 150°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
2.In a clean, dry bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
3.Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating until sugar dissolves and foam is stiff, thick and glassy. Beat in lemon juice and vanilla.
4.Spread mixture onto tray to form a 26cm-round (or rectangle).
5.Bake 20 minutes. Reduce oven to very slow, 120°C, and bake 55-60 minutes. Allow to cool in a turned-off oven, with the door ajar, to dry out completely.
6.To serve, spread cream over. Top with sliced fruit and drizzle with passionfruit.

The leftover egg yolks can be refrigerated or frozen-use them to make mayonnaise and custards or to enrich sauces. Remember to label jar.
