Preparation

Coconut meringue
Combine almond meal with both coconuts. Gradually mount whites with castor sugar bringing them to a firm peak. Fold icing sugar in with your hand.

Then follow with the almond meal and coconut mix, until well combined. It’s important to do this slowly but efficiently in order to maintain volume. Spread onto silicon paper or baking sheet, dust with extra icing sugar and bake at 150c for 30 mins.

When cool cut out desired shape, in this case three discs X 26cm across.

Mascarpone filling
Place mascarpone, sugar and yolks in a mixer and whisk until firm. In a separate bowl mount whites with 50g sugar to firm peak. Take ½ of the meringue and fold into mascarpone mix to soften it, then fold in remainder of meringue.

Assembly
Take two punnets of strawberries and cut the fruit in half. Place the first meringue disc on a board and enclose with cake ring.Fill with ½ of the mascarpone mix. Press ½ the strawberries into this mix.

Place a second meringue disc over this mix and cover with remainder of mascarpone and strawberries. Top with final meringue and refrigerate overnight. Remove the ring.

Before serving, dust with icing sugar and caramelise with a blowtorch.

Hot Tips

Spice it up

It pays to sort through your spices at least every six months and throw out any that are past their use-by date. Replacing them with fresh spices will make all the difference to an Indian or Cape Malay curry. Unless you often cook for large crowds, buy spices in small quantities and ideally source them from a vendor you know has a good turnover to ensure freshness. Store in a cool, dark place to prevent deterioration of the volatile oils.

Glossary

Al Dente
