Classic Pavlova

with Cream, Strawberries & Passionfruit

Vegetarian Serves 8 ⏱ 1 hr 45 min + cooling Medium Electric mixer · Baking tray · Baking paper · Silicone spatula

Crisp shell, marshmallow centre, clouds of cream and fruit piled higher than strictly necessary. Serves 8.

Ingredients (serves 8)

Allergens: Egg, dairy.

Method

  1. Prepare

    Heat oven to 130°C fan-forced (150°C standard). Line a tray and draw a 20 cm circle on the underside of the paper as a guide.

  2. Whip

    Beat egg whites to soft peaks. Add sugar one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition, until the meringue is thick and glossy and the sugar feels dissolved between your fingers.

  3. Finish the meringue

    Fold through cornflour, vinegar and vanilla. Spoon onto the circle, building the sides slightly higher than the centre.

  4. Bake gently

    Put pavlova in the oven, immediately reduce to 100°C fan-forced (120°C standard), and bake for about 1 hour 20 minutes. Turn oven off and let it cool completely inside with the door closed or slightly ajar.

  5. Top just before serving

    Whip cream and icing sugar to soft peaks. Spoon over the cooled pavlova and finish with passionfruit, strawberries and kiwifruit.

Tip: A few cracks are normal. Pavlova is dessert, not structural engineering.
