Trace the edge of the trifle dish on baking paper and draw another circle 2 centimeters inward.

Add egg whites into a stand mixer and whisk to soft peaks.

Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until meringue reaches stiff peaks.

Test meringue for sugar crystals by rubbing between fingers; if no crystals are felt, it's ready.

Gradually add cornflour, kaffir lime, and vinegar to the meringue and mix well.

Divide the meringue between the two drawn circles on the baking paper and shape them as round as possible.

Bake the meringues for 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes at 120 degrees Celsius.

Let the meringues cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar.

Prepare a sugar syrup by heating water and sugar to 121 degrees Celsius using a sugar thermometer.

Whip eggs until thick and pale, then gradually add the hot sugar mixture while whisking.

Continue whisking for about 10 minutes until the mixture cools down completely.

Gradually add mascarpone while whisking, then fold in coconut cream until combined.

Barbecue mangoes by dipping cheeks in castor sugar and cooking on a barbecue hot plate or in a fry pan with skins on.

Once cooked, let the mangoes cool with the cooked side up and then remove the skins for the ones going in the trifle.

Reserve about a cup of the mascarpone mixture for the top layer of the trifle.

Assemble the trifle by placing one meringue in the trifle dish and pushing it down slightly.

Layer in the mascarpone mixture, followed by the mango pieces against the edge for visibility.

Top with remaining mascarpone mixture and place the second meringue on top, pushing it down gently.

Finish with the reserved mascarpone mixture, barbecued mangoes, and shaved coconut.
