Categories     dessert

Time 5h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 large egg whites, at room temperature
Pinch of cream of tartar
Pinch of salt
1 1/4 cups sugar
5 tablespoons Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
For the toppings:
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
3 cups strawberries, halved or quartered

Steps:

  • Make the Pavlova: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until very foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually beat in the sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time (this should take about 3 minutes). Continue beating until stiff and shiny, about 3 more minutes.
  • Sift the cocoa powder over the egg white mixture and sprinkle with the chopped chocolate; fold to combine. Spread the meringue into an 8-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet, making a shallow well in the center. Reduce the oven temperature to 225 degrees F; bake until firm and dry, about 2 hours. Turn off the oven and open the door slightly. Let the meringue cool in the oven, about 3 hours. Carefully remove from the parchment and transfer to a platter.
  • Make the toppings: Beat the heavy cream, sour cream, vanilla and 2 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Toss the strawberries with the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar. Top the Pavlova with the whipped cream and strawberries.

SUMMER FRUIT PAVLOVA



Summer fruit pavlova image

Looking for a make-ahead dessert that delivers the wow factor without much effort? A pavlova is your best bet, and we've created the ultimate version with summer berries

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 egg whites
½ lemon, juiced (you'll need 1 tbsp juice; reserve the squeezed lemon half)
200g caster sugar
2 tsp cornflour
400g strawberries, hulled and halved or quartered if large
1 tbsp icing sugar
small squeeze of lemon juice
200g raspberries
handful of redcurrants (optional)
handful of small mint or basil leaves (or use a mixture)
300g full-fat crème fraîche
25g icing sugar
¼ tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • If you're using fresh eggs and you have time, freeze the egg whites, then defrost completely (see tip, 'freeze for ease', below). Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment and heat the oven to 120C/100C fan/gas ½. Using a 20cm cake tin or plate as a guide, draw a circle on the parchment, then flip it over.
  • Rub the reserved lemon half around the inside of a large bowl. Tip in the egg whites and whisk using an electric whisk until small, foamy bubbles form, about 1-2 mins. Continue to whisk until the egg whites resemble shaving foam, then add the sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, until the meringue is thick and glossy. Rub a dab between your fingertips - if you can feel any grains of sugar, keep whisking for a few minutes more. Add the cornflour and lemon juice, then whisk for another 30 seconds.
  • Spoon the meringue mix into the middle of the circle template, then use a palette knife to spread it out to fill the circle, creating a dip in the middle (this will hold the topping later). Run the palette knife up the edges at regular intervals to create ridges, if you like. Bake for 1 hr, then turn off the oven and leave the pavlova to cool completely with the door shut (if you can, leave it overnight).
  • For the topping, tip the strawberries into a bowl, dust with the icing sugar and squeeze over a little lemon juice. Mix together and leave to stand for 30 mins. Meanwhile, whisk the ingredients for the cream together until thick and pillowy. Gently stir the raspberries and redcurrants, if using, through the strawberries. Spoon the cream into the middle of the pavlova, then top with the fruit, drizzling over any juice. Scatter over the mint or basil before serving.
