Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar (1 tablespoon at a time), beating well after each addition until the meringue is glossy and forms stiff peaks.
- Spoon the meringue onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, creating 6-8 small nests. Use the back of a spoon to create an indent in the center of each nest.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, then turn off the oven and allow the meringues to cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, passionfruit pulp, and 1/4 cup of sugar.
- Stir continuously over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (approximately 10 minutes).
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in the butter until fully melted and incorporated.
- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the cooled passionfruit mixture into the whipped cream. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Just before serving, spoon a generous dollop of the passionfruit cream into the center of each meringue nest.
- Top with fresh berries of your choice.
- Garnish with mint leaves, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious mini passionfruit cream & berry pavlovas!
Tips:
- Ensure that your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and dry before whipping the egg whites to achieve the best volume.
- Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites, one tablespoon at a time, and beat well after each addition to ensure the sugar dissolves properly.
- Bake the pavlovas at a low temperature to avoid browning and to achieve a crisp exterior with a marshmallow-like interior.
- Allow the pavlovas to cool completely in the oven with the door slightly open to prevent cracking.
- When creating the passionfruit cream, make sure to temper the eggs by gradually adding some of the warm butter mixture to them before combining all together to avoid curdling.
- Chill the heavy whipping cream thoroughly before whipping to achieve stiff peaks.
