Ingredients for 4 servings:4 egg whites
40g icing sugar
2 tspns lemon juice
vanilla essence
2 tbspns cornflour
300ml double cream
120g icing sugar (for mixing with the double cream)
4tbsps honey
For the top, you can add fruits of your choice, but we will use:
2 kiwi fruits
8 strawberries
16 blueberries
2 oranges
Cooking:
We preheat the oven to 100oC.
Then, we place the egg whites in a mixing bowl and we whisk vigorously.
We add the icing sugar in the bowl a third at time and we whisk.
We add the lemon juice and a dash of vanilla essence.
We add the cornflour and then we fold the eggwhites.
We place some baking parchment on a baking tray and we put the meringue into it, making it into a round flat shape.
We place the meringue in the preheated oven and we bake it for 1 hour.
When the time pass, we turn off the oven but we leave the meringue in to finish cooking and cool it.
Until the meringue cools, we prepare the fruits.
We peel the kiwi fruits and we slice them.
Then we cut the strawberries in half.
We peel the orange and we cut out the segments. You can keep the peels to ground them on the top of the Pavlova as a garnish.
Now we need to whip the cream. We pour iced water into a mixing bowl and we put a smaller emty mixing bowl into the first.
We add the cream and the sugar into the bowl and we whip it until the cream reaches dropping consistency.
We spread some whipped cream on the cooled meringue using a spatula or a spoon.
We arrange the sliced kiwi fruits on the top and we put some cream in the centre.
We do the same with the orange segments and strawberries.
Then, we scatter with blueberries and we drizzle on the honey.
We garnish with the grounded orange peels.
Ready to served cool.
Bon Appettite!
