Lime Meringues With Mango Basil Sorbet - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 large egg whites
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp lime zest
None None Mango Basil Sorbet
3 None mangoes, seeded, peeled, chopped
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup lime juice
6 None basil leaves, plus extra, to serve

Preparation

Preheat oven to 250\u00b0F. Line 2 oven trays with baking paper.
In a bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition, until mixture is thick and glossy. Beat in zest.
Drop 2 tablespoons of mixture onto trays, 1 inch apart. Using a dessert spoon, press a shallow indent in center of each. Bake 1 1/2 hours, until crisp and dry. Leave in a turned-off oven to cool.
Meanwhile, to make mango basil sorbet, combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to a shallow baking dish. Freeze 45 minutes, stirring puree every 15 minutes to break up ice crystals.
Serve cooled meringues topped with a scoop of mango sorbet and extra sliced basil leaves.
