Pavlova

"Ibu pandai buat Pavlova tak? Rupa dia cemana?".... Semenjak dua menjak ni, bebudak ni duk teringin nak makan yang manis-manis ni. Agaknya dok tengok orang post gambo kat Fb, terliur pulak, request ibu buat.

Pavlova is a simple dessert to make. The sweet taste of the meringue will be lessened by the sourness of the fruits. Alas, I only have kiwis and berries only. Strawberry tak ada. Original recipe credits to RIMA.

PAVLOVA

Ingredients
150ml eggwhite (approximately 4 eggs)
1 cup (220g) caster  sugar
2 tbsp cornflour, sifted
2 tsp white vinegar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (omit this if u wish for a white Pavlova )
1 cup (250ml) single (pouring) cream
250g strawberries, hulled and halved or any other fresh fruits ~ I used canned fruit cocktail, itu je yg ada...

Method

1. Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F). 

2. Place the eggwhites in the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, whisking well, until the mixture is stiff and glossy.

3. Add  cornflour and vinegar, whisk until just combined. Shape the mixture into an 18cm round on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Ensure the edges is higher than the middle to fill the cream later.

4. Reduce oven to 120°C (250°F) and bake for 1 hour 20 minutes. 

5. Turn the oven off and allow the pavlova to cool completely in the oven. 

6. For toppings: Whisk the cream until soft peaks form. Spread over the Pavlova, top with cut fruits and serve immediately. Serves 8–10.

 

OR this method to shape the pavlova:

Line a baking sheet with non-stick baking paper. Use a 6cm diameter cake ring to outline 18 circles and turn the baking paper over (so the meringue does not touch the pencil marks). Spoon the egg white mixture into a piping bag fitted with No. 9 nozzle. Pipe 18 swirls following the outlines on the marked paper. Pipe flowers along edges of swirls on to each meringue..

I have some leftover egg yolks from all the meringue baking recently. So, mem 'baking' la this egg tart nya, takut rosak pulak simpan egg yolk tu lelama dalam fridge kan.
