Method

  • step 1

    Heat the caster sugar in a pre-heated, non-stick frying pan until it starts to dissolve, then toss in the mangoes and cook for 5 mins, stirring once or twice until caramelised. Tip onto a plate and cool.

  • step 2

    Fold the chopped basil and mango into the meringue along with the pâté à bombe. Whip the cream until forming soft peaks and fold in also. Spoon the mixture into a glass serving-bowl. To serve, halve and scoop out the passion-fruit pulp on top. Spoon one or more scoops of crème fraîche on top and decorate with basil sprigs.

Diomalco -- many thanks for posting that link. I too have never heard of Pate a bombe.

Obviously, we can use all those left over egg whites to make the meringues.

You can find a Gordon Ramsay recipe for pâté à bombe at:-

http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2458/pt--bombe?binderbox=showlogin

Basically it's a cooked egg and sugar mixture which can be portioned and frozen.
