• 3 egg whites
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 3/4 cup of sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 1 cup of chilled whipped cream
• 2 teaspoons of sugar
• 3 kiwi fruit, sliced
• 1 1/2 - 2 cups of fresh strawberries, sliced

METHOD

Heat oven to 225°F.

Line bottom of round pan 8 – 9 inches diameter with brown paper.

Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Beat in sugar, 1 teaspoonful at a time, and the vanilla essence. Continue beating until stiff and glossy. Do not under-beat.

Mound meringue on a baking sheet. With back of large spoon, make an impression in center of meringue. This will later hold fruit. Bake 1 1/2 hours.

Turn off oven and leave in oven, with door closed for 1 hour.

Finish cooling at room temperature. Loosen edge of layer with a knife. Invert gently on plate. Remove paper, and place right side up.

Beat whipped cream and 2 teaspoonfuls of sugar in a chilled small bowl until stiff. Frost side of meringue and top with whipped cream.

Arrange fruit on top.
