Servings: persons

2 cups (1-inch) cubed fresh pineapple
1 cup orange sections
1 cup cubed peeled mango
1/3 cup dried sweet cherries
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons white rum
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 egg whites (at room temperature)
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup flaked sweetened coconut, toasted
1 1/2 cups vanilla low-fat ice cream
Mint sprigs (optional)

1
Preheat oven to 250u00b0.
2
Combine first 7 ingredients in a bowl; stir well, and set aside. Place parchment paper over a large baking sheet. Draw 6 (4-inch) circles on parchment paper. Turn parchment paper over, and secure with masking tape.
3
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar at high speed of a mixer until foamy. Add extract; beat well. Gradually add 2/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold coconut into egg white mixture.
4
Divide egg white mixture evenly among the 6 drawn circles. Using the back of spoon, shape meringues into nests with 1-inch sides.
5
Bake at 250u00b0 for 1 hour or until dry. Turn oven off, and let meringue nests cool in closed oven at least 4 hours. Carefully remove meringue nests from paper.
6
Spoon 1/4 cup ice cream into each meringue nest, and top with about 2/3 cup fruit mixture. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
