Description
New Zealand Style Pavlova
Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 6 Large Egg Whites (room temp)
- 1 1/3 cup caster sugar (Finer ground granulated sugar)
- 2 teaspoon vinegar
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch or 1 tsp (a pinch) cream of tartar
- 1 to 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings:
- 1 cup Heaving whipping cream
- 2–4 tbsp Powdered sugar or powdered sugar free substitute
- Kiwi fruit and berries
Instructions
- Beat egg whites until stiff (forms peaks). Add sugar – heaped tablespoon at a time – beating well after each addition. Then beat for at least 10 minutes. This is very important. Then sprinkle vinegar, corn flour and vanilla essence into mixture. Beat until blended.
- Coat baking paper with water drops to allow baking paper to stick to sides of tin and pile pavlova mixture in 20cm circle.
- Heat oven until 300°F (or 150°C). Put pav in oven and immediately turn oven down to 250°F (or 125°C) and leave for 1 hour. Then turn oven off and leave in oven until cold. (Usually overnight). This makes a nice crust on outside of pav.
- Before serving, make your whipped cream (or feel free to use premade whipped cream).
- Place chilled whipped heavy cream in stand mixer or bowl and whip cream and sugar into stiff peaks. About 2-3 minutes on high. Chill until ready to use.
- When ready to serve, carefully spread the whipped cream over the pavlova and then decorate with sliced kiwi and your favorite berries.
