PAVLOVA WITH WINTER FRUITS
It's tough making dessert for someone cutting back on gluten and dairy. Luckily, pavlovas are gluten free and really easy. The toppings are easy to customize - I made the lemon curd dairy free and served whipped cream on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Invert a small bowl onto the parchment paper and trace the rim with a pencil. Repeat twice more. Flip parchment paper over.
- Beat egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks begin to form. Gradually add white sugar, with the mixer running. Whisk superfine sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl. Gradually beat into the meringue. Continue beating meringue until stiff, glossy peaks form. Beat in orange blossom water and vinegar.
- Spoon meringue into the traced circles. Make the borders higher than the center, to leave room for the filling.
- Bake meringues in the preheated oven until firm and dry to the touch, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, make the lemon curd. Fill a medium saucepan with 1 inch of water and bring to a bare simmer.
- Whisk lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, egg yolks, and salt together in a glass bowl. Set the bowl over the simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until curd foams, then thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove the bowl from the simmering water. Gradually whisk in coconut oil until melted and incorporated.
- Strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve; discard solids left in the strainer. Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Transfer to the refrigerator.
- Turn off oven and keep meringues inside until completely dry, about 1 hour.
- Combine heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and orange blossom water in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Spoon lemon curd into the center of the cooled meringues. Mound whipped cream over the curd. Arrange grapefruit, orange, and persimmon slices on top. Sprinkle pomegranate seeds over the top.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1. Line a 33cm x 23cm Swiss roll tin with baking parchment. For the meringue, mix together the cornflour, coffee and vinegar, and set aside. Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks, then gradually beat in the sugar, a spoonful at a time, until quite thick. Whisk in the coffee mix.
- Spoon the meringue onto the paper and gently spread, giving the top a few swirls. Scatter over the pistachios. Bake for 35-40 mins until it feels crisp.
- Meanwhile, make the filling. Slice the mango either side of the stone, peel, then finely chop the flesh. Beat the mascarpone, then stir in the mango. Whip the cream until thick and fold into the mango mix. Halve the passion fruit, scoop out the inside and set aside.
- When the meringue is cooked, leave in the tin for 10 mins, then lift out and put on a cooling rack, paper-side down. Dust a sheet of baking parchment with icing sugar and, when the meringue is cold, tip it on, paper side up. Peel off the lining paper and spread the cream over. Drizzle over the passion fruit and roll up using the paper as a guide. Open-freeze (see 'Try' below) on a board, wrap in foil and freeze for up to 1 month.
- To serve, unwrap and thaw in the fridge for about 1 hr. Sift with icing sugar and serve in slices.

Steps:
- To make the toffee plums, place all ingredients, except plums, in a saucepan with 1 litre water.
- Stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add plums, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or, until they are just tender (this will depend on their ripeness).
- Set aside to cool, in the poaching liquid.
- Plums will keep up to 4 days in the fridge.
- Pre heat the oven to 160 degrees C.
- Grease and line a 2cm-deepX37cm baking tray.
- Beat egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer, until stiff peaks form.
- Add sugar in a slow, steady stream, and continue to beat for about 5 minutes, or until thick and glossy.
- Gently fold in Vanilla, Vinegar and Cornflour.
- Spread meringue into pan and flatten gently with a spatula.
- Bake for 20 minutes then allow to cool in the pan.
- Whip the cream with the icing sugar until thick.
- Turn meringue onto a piece of baking paper, dusted with icing sugar, and spread with the sweetened cream.
- Drain plums, reserving liquid, and remove the stones.
- Chop 6 plums, then spread on top of the cream.
- Starting from the short end, gently roll the Roulade away from you, using the paper to keep it in shape.
- Wrap the whole Roulade in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Just before serving, place the plum poaching liquid in a pan over medium heat, and reduce until almost toffee-like in consistency.
- Cool slightly.
- Place thick slice of Roulade on each plate, with 2 or 3 plums, then drizzle with sauce.
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs at room temperature. This will help the egg whites reach their full potential when whipped.
- Make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease.
- Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing to high speed as they begin to foam.
- Add the sugar slowly, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip the egg whites.
- Whip the egg whites until they are stiff and glossy and form peaks that hold their shape.
- Spread the meringue mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in a thin, even layer.
- Bake the meringue at a low temperature for a long time, until it is dry and crisp.
- Let the meringue cool completely before filling it with whipped cream and fruit.
- When making the toffee plums, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the sugar from burning.
- Stir the plums constantly while they are cooking to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
