MANGO PAVLOVA ROLL
Ingredients.
3 medium size Kensington Pride mangoes, cubed (270 g reserved for the mango butter)
4 extra large eggs, (65 g) separate the egg whites
¾ cup caster sugar
½ cup desiccated coconut, plus 4 tablespoons more (dry toasted)
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon cornflour
2 tablespoons caster sugar
3 tablespoons mango butter
3 tablespoons whipped cream
Method.
Preheat fan-forced oven to 170°C.
Grease a non-stick Swiss roll tin 37 x 26 x 2 cm with oil or melted butter and line the base and sides with baking paper. Dust with cornflour, shake off excess. Beat egg whites in a dry clean glass bowl until forming firm peaks. Gradually add sugar and beat until thick and glossy. Sprinkle with coconut, vinegar and cornflour, and gently fold in. Place into the tin and level with a spatula. Cook at 170ºC for about 15 minutes or until set. While the Pavlova is cooking place another piece of baking paper on a large tea towel and sprinkle with the caster sugar and toasted coconut. Turn the meringue onto the prepared paper and peel off the original backing paper. Roll up the meringue in the paper from a narrow end, to make it supple, then unroll it again. Allow a few minutes to cool before spreading with mango butter and cream. Reroll without the paper and leave in the fridge until needed. Slice into portions and serve with home made mango ice cream, the mango butter, whipped cream and the rest of the mangos. Serves 6 – 8 people.
MANGO Butter
270 g Kensington Pride mangoes (cubed)
70 g butter (cubed)
2 extra large egg yolks
1 Darwin lime, juiced
2 tablespoons caster sugar
600 mL cream (whipped)
Puree the mango flesh with lime juice and strain through a fine strainer into a medium size saucepan. Add the egg yolks and sugar and beat with a wooden spoon. Cook over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add the butter stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Pour into a small glass bowl and place this bowl into a larger one containing cold water and ice cubes to cool the butter down. When cold, place in the fridge until needed.
