Description

Let your next celebration dessert be these individual mini pavlovas. Crisp meringue shells topped with whipped cream and fresh fruits. Today, I am using strawberries and blueberries.

Ingredients 

Meringue

  • 4 (150 g) Egg whites large
  • 1 cup (200 g) Sugar
  • 2 tsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Cream of tartar or vinegar
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Plus

Instructions

Meringue

  • Preheat the oven to 150 C / 300 F.
    Note - This temperature will change as soon as you place the pavlova into the oven.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside until ready to use.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, add the egg whites and salt.
  • Whip on medium speed for a minute, then gradually add the sugar one tablespoon at a time.
  • When all the sugar has been added, continue to whip the meringue until you have stiff peaks.
  • Switch to a spatula - fold in the vanilla. Then sift in the cream of tartar and cornstarch.
  • Transfer the meringue to a piping bag with a large round piping tip.
  • Pipe big dollops of meringue onto a baking tray with parchment paper. You should get about 10 to 12 mini pavlovas, depending on how big you pipe the meringue.
  • Place the pavlovas in the oven on the center rack.
  • Close the oven door and immediately reduce the oven temperature to 130 ℃ / 265 ℉ (DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR DURING BAKING).
  • Bake for 35 minutes. When the baking time is done, do not open the door; let the pavlovas cool inside the oven naturally.

Assemble

  • Whip the whipping cream with confectioners' sugar. And chop the fruits.
  • Use an offset spatula to gently loosen the pavlova from the parchment paper.
  • Place the pavlovas on a serving platter or cake board.
  • Evenly spread or pipe the whipped cream on each pavlova. Arrange the fruits of your choice. I'm using sliced strawberries, fresh blueberries, and mint leaves for garnish.
