1

Whip up the meringue

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). In a clean and dry mixing bowl, beat 4 egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar. Continue beating until the mixture is thick, glossy, and holds stiff peaks.

Create the Pavlova base

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon the meringue onto the prepared sheet, shaping it into a round disc with a slightly higher edge. Smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave the meringue inside to cool completely.

Prepare the tropical fruit

Peel and dice 1 ripe pineapple and 2 ripe mangoes. Set aside a handful of each for garnish. In a mixing bowl, gently toss together the remaining pineapple, mango, and 1 cup of shredded coconut.

Assemble the Pavlova

Carefully transfer the cooled meringue base onto a serving plate. Pile the tropical fruit mixture on top of the meringue. Drizzle 1/4 cup of coconut milk over the fruit. Finally, sprinkle the reserved pineapple, mango, and shredded coconut on top as a beautiful and tasty garnish.
