Best Pastry Chefs Dessert

This was a tough one for me to do,
I really like a fresh Tiramisu
but this Dessert is so over done.
Here I offer my recipe for Coconut Pavlovas
So simple,So sweet and oh So good!

Ingredients:
4 large egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
4 large ripe passion fruits, halved
2 kiwis, peeled, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 small mango, peeled and thinly sliced

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with my beloved parchment paper,
and lightly spray it with a olive oil cooking spray.
In a large bowl, using a Kitchen Aide type mixer,
beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar
at medium speed until frothy.
Beat in the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time,
until the meringue is thick and glossy.
Beat in the vanilla extract, then fold in
the toasted and shredded coconut.
Scoop the meringue into six 3 1/2-inch mounds
on the prepared baking sheet.
Using the back of a spoon,
make a 1 1/2-inch well in the center of each meringue.
Bake the meringues in the center of the oven for about 1 hour,
until crisp and lightly golden but still chewy on the inside.
Remove from the oven and let cool.
Scoop the pulp and seeds from the passion fruits into a bowl.
Set the meringues on plates.
Mound the kiwi and mango into the center of the meringues,
spoon the passion fruit on top and serve.
