Kiwi Berry Pavlova Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200, with rack in center. Line a large rimmed baking sheet 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 of bowl halfway through.
• Mound meringue onto prepared baking sheet; gently spread to a 9-inch circle, with a well in the center and a 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 dry out in closed oven for another 2 1/2 hours, or up to overnight.
• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a large sheet of parchment.
• In a food processor, pulse the sugar to make it fine (or use extra-fine sugar) and set aside. In a medium glass bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric mixer on low speed until foamy, not quite making peaks. Add half of the sugar and whip until stiff peaks form. In a small bowl, sift the remaining sugar with the cornstarch. Add to the egg whites along with the vanilla and vinegar and blend until incorporated.
• Spoon the mixture into 4 piles on the prepared baking sheet. Use a spoon to create a well in each pile. Bake for 40 minutes, and then turn off the oven and leave the pavlovas in the oven untouched for another 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
• Meanwhile, whip the cream until it makes soft peaks. Top the cooled pavlovas with the whipped cream and strawberries. Make a quick sauce by thinning the jam with the hot water and drizzle over the pavlovas. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees F.
• Place a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet pan. Draw a 9-inch circle on the paper, using a 9-inch plate as a guide, then turn the paper over so the circle is on the reverse side. (This way you won't get a pencil mark on the meringue.)
• Place the egg whites and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat the egg whites on high speed until firm, about 1 minute. With the mixer still on high, slowly add the sugar and beat until it makes firm, shiny peaks, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer, sift the cornstarch onto the beaten egg whites, add the vinegar and vanilla, and fold in lightly with a rubber spatula. Pile the meringue into the middle of the circle on the parchment paper and smooth it within the circle, making a rough disk. Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Turn off the oven, keep the door closed, and allow the meringue to cool completely in the oven, about 1 hour. It will be crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
• Invert the meringue disk onto a plate and spread the top completely with sweetened whipped cream. Combine the strawberries, blueberries and raspberries in a bowl and toss with about 1/2 cup of raspberry sauce, or enough to coat the berries lightly. Spoon the berries carefully into the middle of the Pavlova, leaving a border of cream and meringue. Serve immediately in large scoops with extra raspberry sauce.
• Sweetened Whipped Cream:
• Whip the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (you can also use a hand mixer). When it starts to thicken, add the sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until firm. Don't overbeat!
• Yield: 1 cup
• Triple Raspberry Sauce:
• Place the raspberries, sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 4 minutes. Pour the cooked raspberries, the jam, and framboise into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until smooth. Chill.
• Yield: 2 cups

Steps:

• Preheat oven to slow 150C degrees.
• Line a baking tray with baking paper.
• Draw a 20cm circle on the paper.
• Beat the egg whites in a large dry bowl until soft peaks form.
• Gradually add the sugar, beating well after each addition.
• Continue beating until the mixture is thick and glossy and the sugar has completely disolved.
• Spread meringue mixture onto tray inside the marked circle.
• Shape meringue by running a palette or flat-bladed knife up and down the edge of the meringue, making furrows around the side.
• This will strengthen the sides, stopping them from collapsing.
• Bake for 40 minutes.
• Turn the oven off and allow the meringue to cool completely in the oven.
• Whip the cream.
• Halve the strawberries and peel and slice the kiwifruit.
• Decorate pavlova with cream and fruit.
• Enjoy!

• 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.
• Decoratively arrange the sliced kiwi & strawberries. Drizzle nutella over top & sprinkle with dried cranberries.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F.

• Do not open the oven at all until it is cold. If you are unsure, it's better to leave in too long than open early.
• This pavlova has a slightly crisp outside and is like marshmallow on the inside. You may dress it several ways, spread with a layer of thick whipped cream that has had 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla and 1 teaspoon of sugar added or pastry cream. This is covered with sliced fruit, whatever is in season - strawberries, raspberries, sliced (peeled) kiwifruit the choice is yours.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 275° F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• In large bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar at medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 cup sugar, beating at high speed until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is almost dissolved. Spoon meringue onto paper-lined cookie sheet; spread into 12-inch circle.
• Bake at 275° F. for 1 hour. DO NOT OPEN OVEN. Turn oven off; leave meringue in oven with door closed for 30 minutes.
• In blender container or food processor bowl with metal blade, puree raspberries until smooth.
• To serve, cut meringue into 8 wedges; place on individual plates. Top wedges with kiwifruit slices and raspberry sauce.

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.
