| 1. Preheat the oven to very slow (120°C/100°F fan forced). Grease an oven tray. Trace four 10cm circles onto baking powder; place the paper, marked side down on a tray. | 2. Beat the egg whites in a small bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form; gradually add the sugar, beating between each addition; then gently fold in the cocoa. Once you have prepared the meringue mixture, it is essential that you bake it immediately, otherwise it is prone to collapsing. | 3. Spread the meringue mixture inside the circles on the prepared tray, and bake in the oven for about 45 minutes or until the meringues are firm; cool the meringues in the oven with the door ajar. | 4. Meanwhile whisk the cream cheese, cream and sifted icing sugar in a small bowl, until combined. | 5. Top the meringues with the cream cheese mixture and banana slices. | 6. Combine the extra sugar and the water in a small, heavy-based pan and stir over a low heat, without boiling, until the sugar dissolves, then bring to the boil. | 7. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, without stirring, until the mixture is golden brown. Remove from the heat; and stand until the bubbles subside and the toffee runs evenly from the back of a spoon. | 8. Drizzle the meringues with the toffee close to serving. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
