1. Heat oven to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1. Make the meringue by separating the egg whites into a clean bowl (save the yolks for another time) and adding half the sugar. Whisk for a couple of mins with an electric whisk until soft peaks appear. Combine the vanilla, vinegar and cornflour to make a paste, then stir into the eggs with the coconut and remaining sugar. Whisk until stiff peaks form.
2. Place a piece of parchment paper or silicone paper over a baking sheet. Spoon the meringue mix onto the sheet and smooth out to form a circle about 20-25cm wide, swirling with a knife to make peaks around the edges. Place in the oven and cook for 1 hr until the meringue is crisp and lightly browned, then turn off the oven and leave to cool. gently peel away the paper. Can be made up to 2 days ahead and carefully stored in an airtight container.
3. To serve, whip the cream, crème fraîche, sugar and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form, then spread over the centre of the meringue. Top with the fruit and serve.
