Pavlova

Method

Pavlova Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pavlova

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

  2. 2

    Make the Meringue

    In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.

  3. 3

    Add Cornstarch and Vinegar

    Gently fold in cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla extract until just combined.

  4. 4

    Shape the Pavlova

    Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a round shape with a slight dip in the center.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven and let the pavlova cool completely in the oven with the door slightly ajar.

  6. 6

    Prepare Coconut Lime Topping

    In a medium bowl, whip the coconut cream until thick. Fold in lime zest and lime juice.

  7. 7

    Assemble

    Once the pavlova is cool, spread the coconut lime topping over the meringue and serve with mango tequila compote and passion fruit-mango sorbet.
