Ingredients
Method
1.Preheat oven to very slow, 120°C. Line 2 oven trays with baking paper.
2.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.
3.Drop 2 tablespoons of mixture onto trays, 3cm apart. Using a dessert spoon, press a shallow indent in centre of each. Bake 1 1/2 hours, until crisp and dry. Leave in a turned-off oven to cool.
4.Meanwhile, to make mango basil sorbet, combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor; process until smooth. Transfer to a shallow baking dish. Freeze 45 minutes, stirring puree every 15 minutes to break up ice crystals.
5.Serve cooled meringues topped with a scoop of mango sorbet and extra sliced basil leaves.
