Toppings

Method

Meringue Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Whip Egg Whites

    In a clean mixing bowl, add the egg whites. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.

  3. 3

    Add Sugar Gradually

    Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture on high speed until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.

  4. 4

    Fold in Other Ingredients

    Sift the cornstarch over the meringue and gently fold it in along with the white vinegar, lime juice, and lime zest until just combined.

  5. 5

    Shape the Meringue

    Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a circle with a slight indentation in the center.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake the meringue in the preheated oven for 1 to 1.5 hours or until the outside is dry and crisp. Once done, turn off the oven and let the meringue cool inside the oven with the door slightly ajar.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Prepare Toppings

    While the meringue is cooling, prepare the toppings. Cut the passionfruit in half and scoop out the pulp. Peel and segment the mandarins.

  2. 8

    Serve Pavlova

    Once the meringue has completely cooled, carefully transfer it to a serving platter. Top with coconut ice cream, passionfruit pulp, mandarin segments, and garnish with mint leaves.

  3. 9

    Final Touch

    Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
