Pavlova torte
Preparation Time 40 minutes
Cooking Time 35 minutes
Ingredients (serves 10)
8 egg whites
430g (2 cups) caster sugar
1 tbs cornflour
2 tsp white vinegar
480g (2 cups) 99 per cent fat free vanilla custard
2 x 150g ctns Vanilla Creme Fruche
4 gold kiwifruit, peeled, thinly sliced
8 strawberries, washed, hulled, halved
2 passionfruit, halved
1. Preheat oven to 160°C. Line 3 baking trays with non-stick baking
paper. Draw a 22cm disc on each piece of paper.
2. Use an electric beater to beat the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl
until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, until the
sugar dissolves and the mixture is thick and glossy. Beat in the cornflour
and vinegar.
3. Spoon the meringue mixture evenly among the prepared discs and
smooth the surfaces. Bake, swapping the trays halfway through cooking, for
35 minutes or until the meringues are crisp and dry. Turn oven off. Leave
meringues in oven, with the door ajar, to cool completely.
4. Place 1 meringue disc on a serving platter or cake stand. Spread
half the custard over the centre, leaving a 2cm border. Repeat with another
meringue disc and the remaining custard. Top with the remaining meringue
disc. Spread with the Fruche. Arrange the kiwifruit and strawberries on top.
Spoon over the passionfruit pulp to serve.
· Leave a border when adding the custard in step 4 - it will spread
to the edge when topped with another meringue disc. You can prepare to the
end of step 3 up to 1 day ahead. Layer between sheets of non-stick baking
paper in an airtight container. Continue from step 4, 1 hour before serving.
Variation: Banana pavlova torte: Replace the vanilla custard with banana
custard and replace the strawberries with bananas, peeled, thickly sliced.
