Print Recipe

Preheat the oven to 130C.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites with the pinch of salt until soft peaks form.

With the motor running, slowly add the sugar mixture, a little at a time, whisking until stiff and glossy. Then fold in the verjuice and dividing the mixture into 12 meringues onto the lined baking trays, transfer to the oven and bake for 1 hour. Cool completely in the switched-off oven with the door ajar.

Once the meringues have completely cooled remove from the oven.

To make the passionfruit curd, simply place all the ingredients into a pot, place over a low to medium heat and gently whisk until all the ingredients are well combined, then use a wooden spoon to stir constantly until the curd coats the back of the wooden spoon or using a thermometer bring the temperature to 85C, make sure that it does not go above this or the eggs will scramble.

Remove from heat place into clean bowl and pop in fridge to cool and set.
