Ingredients:

4 egg whites
130g
2 cups sugar
460g
1 tsp vinegar
5g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2g
1 tbsp corn flour
16g
5 passion fruits
200g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Meringue:
- In a large, clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they form soft peaks.
- Gradually add the sugar, one spoonful at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture on high speed. The meringue should become glossy and form stiff peaks.
- Add the vinegar, vanilla extract, and corn flour to the mixture, and gently fold them in until well combined.
3. Shape the Pavlovas:
- Spoon or pipe the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet to create small nests. Aim for about 8–10 nests, leaving some space between each.
- Use the back of a spoon to create a slight indentation in the center of each nest. This will hold the whipped cream and fruit later.
4. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the meringues are crisp and dry. They should be firm to the touch but still white.
- Turn off the oven and leave the meringues to cool completely in the oven with the door slightly ajar.
5. Prepare the Passionfruit Sauce:
- Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp and seeds into a small bowl.
6. Whip the Cream:
- In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overbeat, or it will turn into butter.
7. Assemble the Pavs:
- Once the meringues are completely cool, spoon a dollop of whipped cream into the indentation of each meringue nest.
- Top with an array of tropical fruits. Suggested fruits include thinly sliced mango, kiwi, pineapple, and papaya.
- Drizzle the passionfruit pulp and seeds over the top of the fruits and cream for a burst of flavor and decoration.
8. Serve:
- Serve the little pavs immediately to enjoy the contrasting textures of the crisp meringue, smooth cream, and juicy fruit.

Tips:

- Ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and dry before beating the egg whites to achieve the best volume and texture.

- Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites while beating to help it dissolve properly and prevent the meringue from turning grainy.

- Do not open the oven door while the pavs are baking or cooling; sudden changes in temperature can cause them to crack.

- Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks to ensure it holds its shape when piped or dolloped on top of the pavs.

- When preparing passionfruit sauce, strain the seeds from the pulp if you prefer a smoother texture.

These little pavs with tropical fruits and passionfruit sauce offer a harmonious balance of sweetness, creaminess, and tartness that makes them an irresistible dessert.
