Ingredients
Cooking spray
2 spray(s), (5 one-second sprays per serving)
Egg whites
4 serving(s), large
Sugar substitute
⅓ cup(s)
White wine vinegar
1 tsp(s)
Water
1 tbsp(s), boiling
Pineapple
1 medium, cubed
Mango
2 large, cubed
Papaya
1 medium, cubed
Fresh spearmint
2 tbsp(s), cut into thin strips (about 8 large leaves)
Lime
1 medium, cut in half
Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 250ºF. Very lightly coat 2 nonstick baking sheets with cooking spray.
2
Blend egg whites, sweetener, vinegar and hot water together at high speed until soft, white peaks form, about 5 minutes.
3
Spoon egg white mixture by half cupfuls onto prepared baking sheets. Using the back of a spoon, spread out and smooth mixture into eight 6 to 8-inch circles, no more than 1-inch thick each. Cook for about one hour and ten minutes, until crisp. Allow to cool completely on wire rack. (Note: These are very fragile. Handle very delicately.)
4
While pavlovas cook, make fruit topping. Combine pineapple, mango, papaya and mint in a large bowl. Squeeze juice of both lime halves over fruit mixture and gently stir fruit until ingredients are just combined. Allow fruit to macerate for 30 minutes.
5
When pavlovas are cool, gently mound about 3/4 cup of fruit filling on top of each pavlova.

Yields 1 pavlova per serving.
