Prep time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 35 minutes, plus 30 minutes cooling time
Ingredients:
Serves 6
- 4 egg whites
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 2 tsp cornflour
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 2 drops vanilla essence
- 300ml thickened cream, whipped
- Jelly Belly beans to decorate
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C or 160°C fan forced. Line a large tray with baking paper.
2. With 2 electric beaters, beat egg whites in a large clean bowl until sift peaks form. Slowly
beat in sugar ¼ cup at a time, until meringue is stiff and glossy. Sprinkle over cornflour,
vinegar and vanilla, and fold in lightly with a metal spoon.
3. Trace an outline of a map of Australia (perfect for the kids to do!) on the prepared baking

Australia shape. Repeat for Tassie. Top with any remaining meringue and pile as high as you can.
