🇦🇺 Aussie Pavlova Recipe
The pavlova is a simple easy to make dessert that Australians love. Decorate with whipped cream and your favorite topping.
8 egg whites
3 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons vinegar
2 rounded dessertspoons cornflour
Cream whipped + Strawberries, Cherries, Blueberries, or grated Peppermint Crisp to decorate
1) Line a baking tray with baking paper.
2) Place egg whites (don’t let ANY egg yolk get in your whites – use 2 teacups and separate eggs one at a time then add the egg whites to the bowl !) in a warm DRY basin and beat until they stand in peaks.
3) Gradually add half the sugar adding it to the mixture a dessertspoonful at a time.
4) Sift the remainder of the sugar into the mixture and fold in lightly , then quickly add the cornflour, vinegar and vanilla.
5) Spread in an even circle on the tray and bake in a slow oven for about 1 ½ hours. If you want a crispier crust on the pavlova you can increase the oven temperature and cook it for less time. When you do this the outside is crisp and the middle of the pavlova takes on a “marshmallow” consistency.
6) Decorate with whipped cream and strawberries/cherries/blueberries OR Grated Peppermint Crisp Chocolate bar/ peppermint sprinkle topping
