Preparation

For the macadamia flourless mixture, mix all dry ingredients together. Whisk egg yolks and raw sugar until pale, then add the macadamia paste and melted butter. Whisk egg whites and sugar until firm peaks form. Fold through egg yolk mixture, then fold through dry ingredients. Spread 1cm thick on a paper lined baking tray and bake at 180°C until golden.

For the macadamia praline creameaux, mix egg yolks, sugar and cornflour until pale. Soak the gelatine in the cold water. Bring milk to the boil. Add macadamia pastes to the egg yolk mixture. Pour the hot milk over the egg yolk mixture a little at a time. Return to stove and cook to 85°C. Add gelatine, then let cool until 50°C. Add butter. Spread 1cm on a metal tray, and freeze.

For the mango jelly, soak gelatin in water. Heat one-quarter of the mango puree in the microwave with the caster sugar. Add the soaked gelatin, stir well. Return this to the remaining thee quarters of cold mango puree. Set in a steel frame 6mm in height, then freeze.

For the mango mousse, first make the Italian meringue. Put the sugar and water in a saucepan, and heat to 18°C. Set up the electric mixer with the whisk attachment. Put the egg whites in a bowl, set the mixer to medium. Gradually pour the hot sugar mixture down the side of the bowl, keep whisking until a glossy meringue forms.

For the rest of the mango mousse, soak the gelatin in cold water. Take one-quarter of the mango puree, and heat in the microwave for about 90 seconds, or until hot. Add the soaked gelatin, and stir until dissolved. Return this to the cold mango puree, fold the cream and Italian meringue together, then gently fold through the mango puree. Try to avoid losing any air.

Herb sense

Coriander and parsley will keep longer if stored upright in the fridge in a glass containing 1–2 cm water and covered with a plastic bag. To ensure dried mint packs a refreshing punch, buy in small quantities from a vendor you know has a high turnover.
