Methods and Directions

Meringue
  • Whisk the egg white on high speed, slowly add castor sugar.
  • Keep whisking until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture becomes white and forms stiff peaks.
  • Heat a large pot of hot milk (the milk should not be too cold nor boiling rapidly).
  • Spoon the meringue into the hot milk and poach for approximately 2 minutes or until the surface of the meringue gets firm.
  • Place on a clean paper towel to drain excess water.
Spiced Custard
  • Bring the milk and all of the spices up to a boil, turn to simmer and let infuse for 30 minutes.
  • Whisk the sugar and the egg yolks until light and fluffy.
  • Strain the milk well and slowly pour into the egg yolks and sugar mixture while whisking.
  • Cook the mixture on top of the bain-marie until the mixture is thickened and coats the wooden spoon.
Pineapple Salsa
  • Combine water, sugar and all of the spices.
  • Bring up to a gentle boil to make sugar syrup.
  • Then pour the hot mixture of the sugar syrup on top of the diced pineapple to infuse.
  • To serve, place a spoonful of pineapple salsa at the bottom of the serving glass.
  • Pour in the chilled Anglaise; carefully place the poached meringue on top.
  • Garnish with julienne lime leaves and chilli to elevate the flavour.
