Kiwi Berry Pavlova Recipes

KIWI-BERRY PAVLOVA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200; with rack in center. Lin a large rimmed baking sheed with parchment paper; set aside. In a small bowl; whisk sugar and cornstarch until combined.
• Make meringue: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat egg whites, lemon juice and salt until very frothy. Add 1 tablespoon sugar mixture every 30 seconds, until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 8 minutes total, scraping down sides halfway through.
• Mound meringue onto prepared baking sheet; gently spread to a 9 inch circle with a well in the center and 1 inch raised border around the edge.
• Bake until shell is crisp on the outside and marshmallowy on the inside, about 2 1/2 hours (reduce oven temperature to 175 if it starts to brown). Turn oven off; let meringue try out in closed oven for another 2 1/2 hours, or up to over-night. (Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days.).
• Just before serving using an electric mixer, beat cream and vanilla in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Fill shell with whipped cream, and top with fruit. To serve use a serrated knife to cut into wedges.

• Bake at 275° F. for 1 hour. DO NOT OPEN OVEN. Turn oven off; leave meringue in oven with door closed for 30 minutes.

STRAWBERRY KIWI PAVLOVA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275°F
• Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form, adding sugar 1TB at a time. Beat in vanilla.
• On foil or parchment lined baking sheet, spread meringue into a 10" circle, pushing up edges to form a well in the middle. Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until firm to the touch. Turn off oven & leave meringue inside to dry.
• Remove meringue to a serving platter.
• While cream is whipping, combine marshmallow creme & creme fraiche. Fold in whipped cream. Spread this mixture over the cooled meringue.

LEMON KIWI PAVLOVA

Steps:

• Lay a sheet of silicon or baking parchment on a baking tray.
• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Whisk the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until they are stiff.
• Whisk in the sugar a spoonful at a time. Blend the vinegar with the cornflour and whisk it, with the last spoon of sugar, into the egg whites.
• Spread the meringue out to roughly an 8" circle on the baking tray and build up the sides so that they are higher then the centre, this is for the filling.
• Put the baking tray in the centre of the oven, turn the heat down to 300F and bake the meringue for 1 hour. Turn the oven off but leave the pavlova in the oven to become quite cold (otherwise it might split open as it cools).
• Remove the pavlova from the baking tray and place on a serving dish.
• Place the condensed milk, cream and lemon juice in a bowl, beat until blended (taste after you just mixed it, you might want to add more condensed milk or lemon, to suit your taste) and the mixture is thick and creamy, then pile into the centre of the pavlova.
• Place in the fridge and leave to stand for at least 1 hour before serving.
• Peel and slice the kiwi fruit and arrange attractively around the edge of the lemon pavlova just before serving.
