Summer Berries and Passionfruit Pavlova
Ingredients
6 egg whites
1 1/2 cups caster sugar
1 tablespoon cornflour
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
375ml cream, whipped
Summer berries
Passionfruit
Method
Preheat oven to 150C.
Place the egg whites in a large bowl and whisk on high speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Add the caster sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until dissolved before adding more. It is important to add the sugar slowly here.
Once all the sugar has been added, scrape down the sides of the bowl and whisk for a further 10–12 minutes. Take care not to over whisk the mixture, it is done when the mixture is thick and glossy.
Place the cornflour and vinegar in a small bowl and mix until smooth. Add to the egg white mixture and whisk for 30 seconds until well combined.
Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Spoon the meringue mixture, in a circle, on the non-stick baking paper.
Reduce the oven temperature to 120C and bake for 1 hour.
Allow to cool completely in the closed oven. This will take several hours, you can leave it in the oven overnight if making the pavlova for the next day.
Place the pavlova on a serving plate and top with whipped cream, summer berries and passionfruit to serve.
Serves 8–10.
