2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioner’s sugar
1 ripe mango, cut into cubes

2. In a small bowl, combine the vanilla and lemon juice. Gently fold in the mixture into the beaten egg white.
Part 2
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper then draw a 9 inch circle in the middle of the parchment paper. Sprinkle lightly with cornstarch to avoid sticking.
