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.
