Ingredients:
- 3 egg whites
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp corn flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Mixed fruits for topping
Pavlova is a stunning meringue dessert from New Zealand that’s sure to impress your friends and family.
Step-by-step: 👇🏽👇🏽
- Lightly whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. (Got leftover egg whites from using just yolks? Perfect time to use them! 💁🏽♀️)
- Gradually add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, while whisking.
- Keep whisking for 5–10 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. Test by rubbing a bit between your fingers—if it feels grainy, whisk more. It should be smooth and glossy.
- Sift in the corn flour and baking powder, then gently fold until just combined (under a minute).
- Spoon the mixture onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, shaping it into a circle. Smooth the top with a spatula and add a tiny bit around the edges to hold the paper down.👌🏾
- Bake in a preheated oven at 110–120°C (my oven runs hot, so I stick to 110°C 😬) for 1½ hours. Important: don’t open the oven door at all! ☝🏽 Keep it closed the entire time.
- Turn off the oven and let the Pavlova cool inside for 2 hours or overnight. This helps it set perfectly 💁🏽♀️❤️ Patience really pays off!
- Top with cream and mixed fruits—but don’t overload it! The outside should be crisp, and the inside creamy and fluffy. 😋
