“For a moment, or a second, the pinched expressions of the cynical, world-weary, throat-cutting, miserable bastards we've all had to become disappears, when we're confronted with something as simple as a plate of food.”

Pavlova

Pavlova. Yes, i made it. It was not that hard to make it except the baking part. It took 1 hour and half for it to cook. Just so you know that pavlova is a meringue like dessert with crisp crust and soft, light inside. Here, i explain to you step by step how to make it. Enjoy and happy baking.

Ingredients

For the meringue

1. 4 large ( a size) eggs at room temperature, separated (separate the yolk from the white)
2. A cup caster sugar
3. 3 teaspoons cornflour
4.  1 tbs(20 ml) of white vinegar


Garnish

1. 250 ml of whip cream
2.  Fruits- strawberries/passion fruits/ kiwis

Methods

1. 4 eggs white is put into electric mixer. Remember while breaking the eggs please make sure there is no yolk. Not even a drop. 

2.  In the bowl of your electric mixer, with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they hold soft peaks.

3. Start adding the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and continue to beat, on high speed, until the meringue holds very stiff and shiny peaks. 

 4. Beat in the vanilla extract. Sprinkle the vinegar and cornstarch over the top of the meringue and, with a rubber spatula, gently fold in.

5. Spread the meringue inside the circle drawn on the parchment paper, smoothing the edges, making sure the edges of the meringue are slightly higher than the center. 

6. Bake for 60 to75 minutes in 150 160 degree Celcius  until the outside is dry and is a very pale cream color. Turn the oven off, leave the door slightly ajar, and let the meringue cool completely in the oven.

7. Just before serving gently place the meringue onto a serving plate. Whip the cream in your electric mixer, with the whisk attachment, until soft peaks form. Sweeten with the sugar and vanilla and then mound the softly whipped cream into the center of the meringue.

Enjoy baking. Until next time.
