New Zealand Pavlova image

Pavlova is a traditional dessert in New Zealand. It is a meringue base that is topped with whipped cream and fruit, usually kiwifruit. Children's birthday cakes are often pavlovas in New Zealand and may be decorated with candy. As with all meringues, this is best made on a dry day as high humidity can affect the end result. If you want a larger pavlova, just keep adding layers - you might want to make the bottom one a big wider so the creation doesn't tip! You must let the meringue sit for a few hours and I did not include that time. Enjoy!

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup superfine sugar (caster sugar, berry sugar, or regular sugar blitzed in a food processor until grains are half their )
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fruit, sliced (kiwifruit, berries, peaches, etc.)
1 1/2 cups lightly sweetened whipped cream (just add sugar to it, to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Line a shallow baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large dry bowl, sprinkle cream of tartar over egg whites and beat until stiff. Whisk together sugar and cornstarch. Add the mixture to the egg whites a tablespoon at a time, while beating on medium speed, until all ingredients are combined. The meringue should be shiny, white, and stiff. Fold in vanilla extract.
  • Reduce oven heat to 200°F Mound the meringue on the baking sheet in a round shape about 6 inches in diameter. Bake for 1 hour. Turn off oven, leaving meringue in the oven until it is cold or overnight.
  • Top with whipped cream and arrange fruit over top.
  • Use a serrated knife to gently saw slices. It is best to eat when first made but you can store leftovers in a covered container.

I'm not a big fan of meringue, but I thought this pavlova was pretty good. The meringue was light and fluffy, and the topping was a nice balance of sweet and tart.

This pavlova was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still a good dessert. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the meringue next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pavlova turned out flat and dense. It still tasted good, but it wasn't the light and fluffy meringue I was hoping for.

I made this pavlova for my husband's birthday, and he loved it! He said it was the best pavlova he's ever had. The meringue was crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, and the topping was a perfect balance of sweet and tart.

This pavlova is the perfect summer dessert. It's light and refreshing, and the fruit topping adds a pop of color and flavor. I love that it can be made ahead of time, so I can enjoy it without any last-minute stress.
