PASSION FRUIT PAVLOVA

Pavlova is named after Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. She toured Australia and New Zealand in the 1920s, and both countries take credit for inventing the dessert. Some people say it was inspired by her tutu; others say it was created in the spirit of her light, airy style of dancing.

Time 4h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 large egg whites, at room temperature
3/4 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups superfine sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon superfine sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
5 passion fruits, halved and pulp scooped out

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275˚ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a plate or cake pan as a guide, trace a 9-inch circle on the parchment with a pencil, then flip over the parchment on the baking sheet (the circle should still be visible); set aside.
  • Make the meringue: Whisk the egg whites, 1/4 teaspoon vinegar and the salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 4 minutes. Gradually beat in the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dissolved. Increase the mixer speed to medium high and beat until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cornstarch, vanilla and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon vinegar and beat until just combined, 10 to 15 seconds.
  • Spread the meringue into a 9-inch round on the prepared baking sheet (use the pencil marking as a guide) and make a shallow well in the center. Transfer to the oven and immediately reduce the oven temperature to 225˚. Bake until crisp and dry, about 2 1/2 hours. (The meringue should still be white or a very pale cream color.) Turn off the oven and open the door slightly (use the handle of a wooden spoon to prop it open about 1/2 inch). Let the meringue cool completely in the oven, about 1 1/2 hours. Carefully remove the meringue from the parchment and transfer to a platter.
  • Make the whipped cream: Beat the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
  • Just before serving, top the meringue: Gently stir the passion fruit pulp to loosen. Top the meringue with the whipped cream and passion fruit. Serve immediately.

MARTHA'S PAVLOVA WITH PASSION FRUIT

Pavlovas were developed in honor of the great ballerina Anna Pavlova while she was dancing in Australia and New Zealand. Both countries claim ownership of this light, pillowy dessert. Instead of passion fruit, raspberries, strawberries, and currants can also be used successfully.

Time 3h30m

Yield Makes one 8-inch or four individual Pavlovas

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large egg whites, room temperature
Salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons superfine sugar
2 teaspoons white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 passion fruits, halved
Garnish: whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Draw four 4-inch circles or one 8-inch circle onto a sheet of parchment paper. Transfer parchment, traced side down, to a baking sheet.
  • Whisk egg whites and a pinch of salt with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. With machine running, add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff, glossy peaks form. Sprinkle in vinegar, cornstarch, and vanilla; whisk until just combined.
  • With a rubber spatula, mound meringue onto parchment in center of circle or circles. Evenly spread meringue toward edges. Transfer to oven, and immediately reduce temperature to 200 degrees. Bake until meringue lifts off parchment easily, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Turn off oven. Let meringue cool completely in oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Once meringue is cool and completely dry, scoop out passion fruit over tops. Garnish with whipped cream. Serve immediately.

PASSION FRUIT PAVLOVA



Passion Fruit Pavlova image

Pavlova, an airy confection named in honor of Russian prima ballerina Anna Pavlova, consists of a meringue base crowned with fruit and capped with whipped cream. Traditionally, the meringue base has a soft, nearly marshmallow-like center, but for this recipe, brought to us by renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, it is crisp and light.

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large egg whites
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 1/4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
Passion Fruit Sorbet
3/4 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
2 passion fruits, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat a convection oven to 200 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip egg whites until frothy. Slowly add granulated sugar. Whip until very stiff peaks form. Remove bowl from mixer and fold in confectioners' sugar with a rubber spatula.
  • Fill two 6-dome flexible baking sheets with meringue, using the back of a spoon to form a hollow shell, about 3/8 inch thick. Bake for 2 hours or until dry. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Gently remove meringues from molds. To allow for some breakage, you will have extra meringues.
  • Dip one meringue shell in whipped cream. Place on a plate, and fill with a scoop of sorbet. Dip another meringue shell in whipped cream, and place it on top of sorbet. Using a spoon, scoop the seeds from the passion fruit halves, and use to garnish the dessert. Repeat process with remaining meringue shells. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a clean, dry bowl and whisk when whipping the egg whites. Any grease or residue can prevent the whites from reaching their full volume.
  • Beat the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing to high speed as the whites start to foam. This will help to prevent the whites from becoming grainy.
  • Continue beating the egg whites until they are stiff and glossy. Stiff peaks should form when you lift the whisk out of the bowl.
  • Add the sugar to the egg whites gradually, one tablespoon at a time. This will help to prevent the whites from deflating.
  • Bake the pavlova in a preheated oven. This will help to create a crispy shell and a soft, fluffy center.
  • Let the pavlova cool completely before topping it with fruit or cream. This will help to prevent the pavlova from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Martha's Pavlova with Passion Fruit is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy shell, soft and fluffy center, and tangy passion fruit topping, this pavlova is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, this recipe is easy to follow and will yield delicious results.
