How to Make Delicious Pavlova.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:36:00 +0000

Ingredients:

Meringue
- 3 egg whites
-175g caster sugar
- 5ml cornflower
- 5ml vinegar
- 2.5ml vanilla essence
Filling
- 2 passion fruit
- 2 kiwi fruit
- 225g strawberries
- 100g black grapes
-225 fresh pineapple
-300 ml double cream or greek yogurt and double cream, mixed.

Method:

1)Line a baking sheet with non-stick baking parchment. 2) To make the meringue, whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff. Whisk in the sugar a third at a time, whisking well between each addition until stiff and very shiny. Fold in the cornflower, vinegar and vanilla essence.
3) Pile the meringue in a 23cm round onto the baking sheet, making sure there is a substantial hollow in the center.
4) Bake at 130c (250F) for 75 to 90 minutes or until pale brown and dry but a little soft in the center; press lightly with a finger to test. Leave to cool slightly, then peel off the paper. At this stage the meringue will probably crack and sink a little.
