Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large egg whites (room temperature)
1.5 cups granulated sugar
2 tsp corn starch
1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream ((very cold))
2 tbsp granulated sugar
4-5 cups fresh fruit (blueberries, kiwi, raspberries, sliced strawberries, etc)
15 Mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the Oven to 225˚ F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your stand mixer, beat 6 egg whites on high speed 1 min until soft peaks form. With the mixer on, gradually add 1 1/2 cups sugar and beat 10 min on high speed, or until stiff peaks form. It will be smooth and glossy.
  • Use a spatula to quickly fold in 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice and 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract, then fold in 2 tsp corn starch and mix until well blended.
  • Pipe meringue into 3 to 3 1/2 inches wide nests onto the parchment paper using a Wilton 1M Tip. Indent the center with a spoon to allow room for cream. Bake at 225˚ for 1 hr and 15 min then turn the oven off and without opening the door, let meringue in the hot oven another 30 min. Outsides will be dry and crisp to the tap and very pale cream-colored and insides will still be marshmallow soft.
  • Transfer the pavlova with the parchment paper onto the counter or a cookie rack and allow it to cool to room temp. Once cool, you can top them with whipped cream and fruit or store in an airtight container for 3-5 days at room temperature (in a low humidity place).
  • Beat cold whipping cream with 2 Tbsp sugar in the cold bowl for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes or until whipped and spreadable.
  • Pipe frosting onto the pavlova and top with fresh fruit.*

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large egg whites, room temperature
1 1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries, for serving
1 1/4 cup creme fraiche
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Use a pencil to trace a 10-inch-diameter circle on a piece of parchment. Trace a 6-inch-diameter circle in center of larger circle. Place on a baking sheet, tracing-side down.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Beat in cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla.
  • Divide mixture between two large piping bags fitted with a 3/4-inch plain round tip. Pipe 10 evenly spaced mounds (each about 2 1/4 inches in diameter and 2 inches high) onto parchment in a circle using traced ring as a guide. With the back of a spoon, create a hollow in each mound. Bake until ring easily lifts off parchment, about 1 hour, 10 minutes. Turn off oven; let stand in oven 1 hour.
  • Gently roll some of the berries in a damp paper towel, then roll in remaining 3 tablespoons sugar to lightly coat.
  • To serve, whisk creme fraiche until thickened, then fold in lemon zest. Whisk cream to medium peaks, then fold into creme fraiche; divide among hollows in pavlovas. Garnish with sugared and unsugared berries.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest ingredients possible, especially the eggs and cream.
  • Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before you start whipping them.
  • Whip the egg whites until they are stiff and glossy, but not dry.
  • Add the sugar gradually, while continuing to whip the egg whites.
  • Bake the pavlovas at a low temperature for a long time, until they are crisp on the outside and marshmallowy on the inside.
  • Let the pavlovas cool completely before topping them with the lemon crème fraîche.
