Berry and Maple Pavlova
Desserts / Child-Friendly / Summer / Sweet Treats
Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 250g maple sugar
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp cornflour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 litre whipping cream
- 500g strawberries, washed, stalks removed and quartered
- 300g blackberries, washed and halved
- 300g blueberries, washed
- 300g apricots, stoned and quartered
- 120g pure maple syrup, plus extra for drizzling (preferably golden colour for its delicate taste)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 150°C/Gas 2. On a baking paper, draw around your serving plate in pencil to mark the shape for your meringue
- Using a hand-held mixer, whisk the egg whites together until they form stiff peaks. Then add maple sugar a tablespoon at a time until the appearance is glossy and smooth
- Whisk in the vinegar, cornflour and vanilla extract. Pour the mixture onto the baking paper and keep within the drawn circle
- Spread out using a palette knife creating a dip in the centre. Keep sides slightly higher than the middle
- Transfer onto a tray and bake in the oven for 1 hour
- Turn off the heat and allow the meringue to completely cool whilst in the oven. For additional layers, repeat the process
- Once all the meringue layers have thoroughly cooled, whisk together the cream and maple syrup in a bowl to form soft peaks and spread between each layer of meringue topped with a mixture of prepared fruits and drizzled with maple syrup
