2 weeks ago, I had my first Pavlova at Kulcats Barrio, TTDI. Before this, I have heard so much from my friends about this sweet dessert. I didn't really care at first, as I thought it was fattening and I didn't see the big deal of tasting it because I was still so into Apple Crumble.
So my friends and I had dinner at Kulcats and I don't know, i just felt like trying the pavlova. It looked pretty interesting. Strawberries,grapes and cream everywhere. There were only 2 pavlovas left so I reserved one for dessert. After dinner, my pavlova arrived. It looked big and I was worried I couldn't finish it. When I had my first bite, it was like i died and went to pavlova heaven. (ok i tend to over exaggerate but it was really good) Very light and not too sweet. Juuuust right.
Apparently, the recipe is super dooper easy!
Recipe
Ingredients:
- 6 (59g) eggs, separated
- 1 1/4 cups (270g) caster sugar
- 2 tsp cornflour
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 300ml thickened cream
- 2 tbs icing sugar mixture, sifted
- Finely shredded rind and juice of 2 limes
- 2 Lady finger bananas, thinly sliced diagonally
- 3 golden kiwifruit, peeled, thinly sliced
- 2 starfruit, thinly sliced
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 120°C. Line an oven tray with foil. Brush with melted butter and dust with cornflour, shaking off excess. Mark a 24 cm-diameter circle on foil.
- Use an electric mixer to whisk egg whites in a clean dry bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition, until meringue is thick and glossy and sugar dissolved. Rub a little meringue between fingers. If still "gritty" with sugar, continue to whisk until sugar dissolves. Add cornflour, vinegar and vanilla and whisk until just combined. Spoon meringue onto the foil, using the marked circle as a guide. Smooth sides and top of pavlova. Use a small spatula to forms little peaks around edge of pavlova. Bake in oven for 11/2 hours or until pavlova is dry to the touch. Turn off oven. Leave pavlova in oven with the door ajar to cool completely. When completely cold, transfer to serving plate or store in an airtight container until required.
- Use an electric mixer to whisk the cream and icing sugar in a medium bowl until firm peaks form. Spoon cream onto the top of pavlova. Pour lime juice into a ceramic or glass bowl. Add banana slices and toss to coat with juice. Drain. Decorate pavlova with banana, kiwifruit, starfruit, passion fruit and lime rind.
