Method

1

Whisk egg whites to firm peaks, adding the caster sugar one spoonful at a time so the meringue turns glossy and stiff.
2

Fold in the cornflour, vinegar and vanilla — they give the signature crunchy shell and creamy middle.
3

Shape a round nest on baking paper with a shallow well in the top and bake low and slow for 90 minutes; cool in the turned-off oven.
4

When fully cold, whip the cream to soft peaks and pile it into the well.
5

Dress with sliced kiwifruit and strawberries and spoon over passionfruit pulp just before serving.
