Ingredients

  • 6 egg whites from free-range hens
  • A hint of salt from exotic lands
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of rare and fragrant vinegar
  • 2 cups of luxurious castor sugar
  • A touch of pure vanilla extract from distant shores
  • A handful of unsweetened flaked coconut for a tropical twist (Optional)
  • 2 cups of whipped cream, sweetened to perfection
  • 1 cup of juicy fresh strawberries, meticulously sliced
  • 2 kiwifruits, their emerald flesh exposed in elegant slices
  • 1 ripe peach, its velvety skin removed, revealing succulent slices
  • A scattering of fresh blueberries, plump and bursting with flavor

Step 1

To start, preheat the oven to a toasty 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Remember, you'll want to lower it to a gentle 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) before baking. Get your favorite 9 or 10-inch round glass dish and line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup and a lovely presentation.

Step 2

In a spacious bowl, mix your egg whites and a pinch of salt. Use an electric mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment to beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking until stiff peaks are achieved. Add a splash of vanilla and vinegar for flavor, and gently fold in some coconut if desired. Pour this delightful mixture into your prepared glass dish, spreading it out evenly to reach every corner.

Step 3

Slide your creation into the oven, remembering to adjust the temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) right away. Let it bake for about 40 to 50 minutes until the top is crispy and a charming pale straw hue. Once done, leave the Pavlova in the oven with the heat turned off until it cools completely.

Step 4

After your Pavlova has cooled down, generously dollop sweetened whipped cream on top. Now comes the fun part! Arrange your colorful assortment of strawberries, kiwis, peaches, and blueberries in captivating concentric circles on the creamy canvas. Enjoy the vibrant and delightful fruits of your labor!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your pavlova's delicate meringue layers intact by storing it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  2. 2. To maintain the pavlova's crisp exterior, store it in an airtight container with a piece of parchment paper between each layer to prevent sticking.
