Put the egg whites and sugar into a heatproof bowl. Put the bowl over (but not in) a pan of simmering water and whisk with electric beaters until you have a stiff and a glossy meringue. Remove from the heat.

Melt the white chocolate over a pan of simmering water or in a microwave. Remove from the heat and stir in the ground cloves, ginger and mixed spice. Fold the chocolate through the whisked egg whites with a spatula until combined.
