Pavlova
This week we’re tackling New Zealand’s most iconic dessert named after a Russian ballerina - the pavlova! I promise it is not as daunting as you may think!
Ingredients
120g or 4. Egg Whites
200g. Sugar
1t. Cornstarch
Pinch of Salt
Preparation
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Begin whipping you egg whites, when tracks begin to form and it begins to gain volume, slowly add in your sugar. Continue to beat until thick glossy stiff peaks form. Whip in the cornstarch, salt and any other flavoring. Drop or pipe the meringue onto a parchment lined baking tray. Place your meringue in the oven and immediately drop the temperature to 200. Bake for an hour to an hour and half until the meringue is firm and set. For best results, let the meringue cool completely in the oven. Garnish with whipped cream or curd and fresh fruit. Enjoy!!
