Mango Cream Torte Recipe

Preheat oven to 210ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and dust with confectioners’ sugar. Set aside.

Make the meringue: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until foamy. Slowly add sugar. Increase speed to medium-high. Beat until mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form. Fold in lemon extract and walnuts; mix well.

Using a spoon or a spatula, scoop out meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, making 4-inch circles.

Bake for 45 minutes or until the tops of the meringue pieces are hard. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, dust with confectioners’ sugar, and place in an airtight container at room temperature.

Make the topping: Whip cream slightly, add sugar and vanilla, and whip for another 1 to 2 minutes.

Place 1 to 2 tablespoons whipped cream on the center of each meringue piece. Top with mangoes and walnuts. Serve immediately. If storing, wrap each torte in foil then in plastic wrap, and freeze until ready to serve.
