Australian Creamy Mango Pavlova - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 egg whites
1 1/4 cups caster sugar
3 large ripe mangoes
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
1 1/4 cups thickened cream

Preparation

Beat egg whites in medium bowl with electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition; beat until sugar is dissolved. Beating should take about 10 minutes. Cut a 10\" circle of foil or parchment paper, place onto greased baking tray. Spread meringue evenly over foil. Bake at 120\u00b0C for 11/2 hours or until meringue feels firm to touch. Turn oven off, leave door closed, allow pavlova to cool in oven.
Carefully peel away foil, place pavlova onto serving dish. Puree 1 mango (or use 1 drained 16 oz can mangoes), add Grand Marnier. Whip cream until firm peaks form, fold in mango. Spread over pavlova, decorate with remaining sliced mangoes, kiwi fruit and strawberries, if desired.
