Instructions:

1. Make the French Meringue:
   • Preheat the oven to 100°C (212°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
   • Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until they form soft peaks.
   • Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until the meringue is glossy and forms stiff peaks.
   • Fold in the lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract.
   • Pipe the meringue onto the baking paper, creating a decorative shell or swirl.
   • Bake the meringue in the oven for about 1 hour, until the meringue is crisp but not browned.
2. Prepare the Mango Coulis:
   • In a saucepan, combine the chopped mango, sugar, lime juice, and vanilla bean.
   • Cook over medium heat until the mango is soft and the mixture starts to thicken, about 10-15 minutes.
   • Remove from heat and strain the coulis through a fine sieve to remove any pulp for a silky-smooth finish.
   • Allow to cool completely.
3. Make the Vanilla Mascarpone Cream:
   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mascarpone, heavy cream, icing sugar, cardamom and vanilla extract until thick and creamy.
   • Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star or round tip.
4. Assemble:
   • On the day of serving, place a dollop of vanilla mascarpone cream.
   • Drizzle the mango coulis over the mascarpone cream.
   • Decorate with fresh mango slices, slivered almonds, raspberries, and small sprigs of fresh rosemary.
