Directions

1. Make the Base:
   Line the base of a 26–28 cm springform tin with baking paper. Crush biscuits into fine crumbs, then mix with coconut, cinnamon, and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the tin and refrigerate to set.

2. Prepare the Filling:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine egg whites, sugar, strawberries, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat on high speed for 6–8 minutes until the mixture becomes thick, pale, and fluffy, and the sugar has dissolved.

3. Assemble the Cake:
   Pour the whipped mixture over the chilled base, smoothing the top. Cover with baking paper and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

4. Optional Syrup:
   Heat raspberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Simmer until the sugar dissolves and berries break down. Strain to remove seeds and cool before serving.

5. Serve:
   Remove the cake from the freezer a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh berries and drizzle with berry syrup if desired.
