Pavlova Base

Whipped Cream

Tropical Fruits Topping

Method

Pavlova Base

  1. 1

    Preheat the 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, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.

  3. 3

    Add Sugar Gradually

    Gradually add the granulated sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture until the egg whites are glossy and stiff peaks form.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Cornstarch and Vinegar

    Sprinkle the cornstarch over the meringue and add the vinegar and vanilla extract. Gently fold these ingredients into the mixture until just combined.

  5. 5

    Shape the Pavlova

    Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a round disc with a slight well in the center for the toppings.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the pavlova inside to cool completely.

Whipped Cream

  1. 7

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.

  2. 8

    Add Sugar and Vanilla

    Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.

Tropical Fruits Topping

  1. 9

    Prepare the Fruits

    While the pavlova is cooling, prepare the tropical fruits by peeling and slicing the kiwi, dicing the mango, and dicing the pineapple. Halve the passion fruits.

  2. 10

    Assemble the Pavlova

    Once the pavlova has cooled, spread the whipped cream on top and arrange the prepared tropical fruits over the cream.

  3. 11

    Serve

    Slice and serve the pavlova immediately for the best texture and flavor.
