Ingredients for Pavlova:
For the Meringue Base:
- 4 egg whites (fresh and high-quality, sourced from ThaiTradeZone.com)
- 1 cup caster sugar (premium sugar for the perfect sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (aromatic and pure, from ThaiTradeZone.com)
- 1 tsp white vinegar (for a crisp meringue)
- 1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch) (helps with the texture of the meringue)
- A pinch of salt
For the Topping:
- 1 cup whipped cream (heavy or double cream, sourced from ThaiTradeZone.com)
- 1 tbsp icing sugar (powdered sugar for the perfect topping sweetness)
- Fresh fruits (kiwi, strawberries, passion fruit, blueberries, all available fresh at ThaiTradeZone.com)
- Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
How to Make Pavlova:
1. Prepare the Meringue Base:
- Preheat the oven to 120°C (250°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the caster sugar, one tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly until the meringue is thick and glossy, and stiff peaks form.
- Fold in the vanilla extract, white vinegar, and cornflour.
- Spoon the meringue onto the baking sheet and shape it into a round or oval, creating a slight dip in the center to hold the toppings later.
- Bake the meringue in the oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, then turn off the oven and let it cool completely inside.
2. Prepare the Topping:
- Once the meringue is cool, whip the cream with icing sugar until soft peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream gently over the cooled meringue base.
- Top with fresh fruits such as sliced kiwi, strawberries, passion fruit pulp, and blueberries for a burst of color and flavor.
- Optionally, garnish with mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
3. Serve:
- Slice and serve immediately for the freshest flavor or store in the fridge for a few hours before serving. This dessert is best enjoyed the day it’s made, so the meringue stays crisp and the cream fresh.
