Alfredo Garcia

Mostachon (Meringue Cake)

Add egg whites to a large mixing bowl. With an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites while gradually adding in 1 cup of sugar.

Once the sugar is fully incorporated, add in the baking powder & cream of tartar. Full mix. Then mix in the vanilla. You should have glossy soft peaks.

Crush up the ritz crackers(not fully crushed, you want some big pieces) & pecans. Add them to the meringue and gently fold them into the mixture.

Using a spring form pan, or regular cake pan, line with parchment paper, then add in the cake mixture. Make sure to even out the top as much as possible.

Bake the cake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees.

Once baked, let it cool down completely, in the meantime, make the frosting and chop up the mango or strawberries, or both like me.

For the frosting, whip up 1 block of cream cheese for 1 minute, then add in the heavy cream, whip that up for another 2 minutes. Then whip in the powdered sugar. Add salt & vanilla then white for 2 more minutes.

Frost the top of the cake, top with the fruit of your choice & serve.
