Pavlova Deluxe image

A pavlova is a fresh fruit dessert with a meringue crust and cream filling. The 'deluxe' in this recipe refers to the passion fruit, which can be pricey. Passion fruit is a round, purple fruit resembling a kiwi, but larger. When ripe it appears shriveled. You can also use kiwi, about 8, instead of passion fruit.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 egg whites
⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
1 ¼ cups heavy cream, chilled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
4 passion fruits

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease interior of 8 inch springform pan and dust lightly with cornstarch.
  • Beat egg whites, preferably in a glass or ceramic bowl, until stiff and glossy. Make sure egg whites have absolutely no contact with grease (fresh or residual), or even a speck of yolk. Combine cream of tartar, white sugar, and cornstarch; gradually beat in to the egg whites. Sprinkle vinegar over egg white mixture, then fold it in very gently.
  • Pile meringue into prepared pan. Spread to the sides leaving a slight depression in the center. Place in preheated oven. Close the oven door, and immediately turn oven down to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Bake for 75 to 90 minutes. Open oven door, but leave meringue in the oven for 15 more minutes. Remove meringue to a draft free spot. Very carefully remove rim of springform pan, and allow meringue to cool completely. There may be a slight sinking in the center. Carefully remove meringue from pan base, and place on serving platter.
  • Whip cream, vanilla extract, and confectioners' sugar until thick and firm. Gently spread over the meringue.
  • Remove the pulp from the passion fruit, and spoon over cream. If using kiwi, peel and slice the fruit; arrange slightly overlapping slices in a pleasing design. Chill until serving time.

This pavlova was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the meringue next time.
