Strawberry-Passion Fruit Pavlova image

The true art of making this kind of meringue is knowing the right moment to take it out of the oven -- when it's crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside.

Time 3h45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 large egg whites, room temperature
Pinch of cream of tartar
1 1/2 cups superfine sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon champagne vinegar or white-wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise
12 ounces ricotta cheese (1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 passion fruits
20 strawberries, hulled and halved (about 12 ounces)

Steps:

  • Make the meringue: Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Draw an egg shape 10 inches long and 8 inches wide at widest point onto a piece of parchment. Turn parchment over, and use it to line a baking sheet. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar with a mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in superfine sugar, then cornstarch and salt, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Fold in vinegar and vanilla.
  • Using egg drawing as a guide, gently mound meringue on parchment; smooth sides. Bake 1 1/2 hours. Turn heat off, and let meringue cool in oven 2 hours.
  • Make the ricotta cream: Scrape seeds from vanilla bean, and blend them with ricotta and granulated sugar in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, and whisk in heavy cream until thick and spoonable.
  • For serving: Cut passion fruits in half, and scoop out pulp and seeds. With the back of a spoon, crack a hole in top of meringue, and fill with ricotta cream. Layer on strawberries and passion fruit. Serve immediately.

I was a little disappointed with this pavlova. The meringue was a little dry and the fruit filling was a little too tart. I think I would have liked it better if the meringue was more moist and the fruit filling was a little sweeter.

This pavlova was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The meringue was crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, and the fruit filling was delicious. I would recommend using less sugar in the meringue next time.
