Summer is fast approaching and that means it’s well and truly patio season. We believe that patios are a place where summer memories are made, and what brings people together more than some sweet treats? Invite your friends over to enjoy this easy and insanely delicious pavlova recipe which is topped with juicy mango, making it even more ideal for the Queensland summer months:
The Ingredients You’ll Need…
Pavlova
4 egg whites
½ teaspoon of vanilla
1 ¼ cups caster sugar
1 teaspoon of vinegar
1 tablespoon of cornflour
1 tablespoon of hot water
Toppings
300ml thickened cream
Whipped blueberries
Mango slices
Passionfruit
Here’s how you bake it
Pavlova
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 140° Celsius (120° for a fan-forced oven)
Step 2
Put all of the pavlova ingredients into a stand mixer, saving the tablespoon of hot water for last
Step 3
Using high speed, whisk the mixture for 10 minutes. After this step, the mixture should be shiny and stiff. Dip a fork into the mixture and take it out – if it holds the point from where the fork exited, you’ve got a perfect consistency and your mixture is now a meringue.
Step 4
Line a large baking tray with baking paper and scoop your meringue into the centre. Use the back of your spoon to make little nest-like indents in the mixture.
Step 5
Insert your meringue into your preheated oven on the middle shelf. Bake for 1.5 hours then allow it to cool in the oven afterwards. Your pavlova should now be crunchy on the outside and a little bit gooey on the inside.
Toppings
Step 1
Lightly whip your thickened cream then spread it across the top of your pavlova
Step 2
Add your mango slices, blueberries and passionfruit
Final Step
Enjoy with friends!
