Ingredients

  • 4 4 egg whites (reserve egg yolks for passionfruit curd)

  • 1 cup 1 (220g) caster sugar

  • 1 tsp 1 vanilla extract

  • 3/4 tsp 3/4 white wine vinegar

  • 3/4 tsp 3/4 cornflour

  • Passionfruit Curd
  • 100 g 100 butter, melted

  • 1/2 cup 1/2 (110g) caster sugar

  • 2/3 cup 2/3 (160ml) fresh passionfruit pulp, from about 8 passionfruits

  • 4 4 egg yolks (reserved from meringue)

  • Raspberry Mascarpone Cream
  • 11/2 cups 11/2 (375ml) thickened cream

  • 125 g 125 mascarpone cream

  • 2 Tbsp 2 caster sugar

  • 1 tsp 1 vanilla extract

  • 1 1 punnet raspberries, halved

  • 8 8 whole raspberries, for garnish

  • Fresh mint, for garnish

Method

  • Heat oven to 100°C fan forced. With a pencil, mark out 8cm x 8cm circles onto baking paper using a glass as a guide. Place baking paper pencil side down onto two baking trays.
  • Place egg whites in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whisk to soft peaks. With the motor running, gradually add caster sugar 1 Tbsp at a time, beating well after each addition, until thick and glossy and sugar has completely dissolved; fold through vanilla, vinegar and cornflour. Using a large metal spoon, dollop mounds of meringue within the marked circles and swirl creatively.
  • Place trays in the oven and bake for 1 hour, or until meringues are dry and crisp. Turn off the oven and leave the door ajar until the oven has cooled.
  • Meanwhile, make passionfruit curd. Place butter, sugar, passionfruit pulp and reserved egg yolks into a medium-sized glass bowl. Mix well, then place in a steam oven and set at 80°C full steam. Cook curd for 15-20 minutes uncovered. Remove and stir with a metal whisk to combine. Return to the oven and cook for a further 20-25 minutes, or until thickened. The curd will thicken more once it has cooled down and chilled. Transfer to a smaller bowl, cover with plastic film and refrigerate until chilled.
  • Place cream, mascarpone, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl; using an electric mixer, beat until thick and creamy. Fold through halved raspberries. Chill until required.
  • To serve, place pavlovas onto individual serving plates; spoon over a small amount of curd; dollop a generous amount of raspberry mascarpone cream over curd, then dollop with more curd. Garnish with a raspberry and mint to serve.

Winnings Cooking Tip

Passionfruit curd can be made seven days in advance; store in a jar in the fridge. The recipe makes a generous quantity to keep, so you can serve with scones or in a sponge cake later.
