Mini pavlovas

Mini pavlovas are delightful small meringue desserts that are crispy on the outside and soft and marshmallowy on the inside. Perfect for any occasion, they can be topped with whipped cream and fresh fruits for a refreshing treat. This recipe is simple yet impressive, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced bakers.

Ingredients:

4 egg whites
130g
1 cup sugar
200g
1 tsp vinegar
5g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1 tsp corn flour
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Egg Whites:
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks, ensuring no yolk gets into the bowl. Place the egg whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl.
3. Beat the Egg Whites:
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they form soft peaks. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Sugar Gradually:
- With the mixer running on medium-high speed, gradually add the sugar to the egg whites, about 1 tablespoon at a time. Continue beating until the mixture becomes glossy and forms stiff peaks. This may take an additional 5-7 minutes.
5. Incorporate the Rest of the Ingredients:
- Add the vinegar, vanilla extract, and corn flour to the meringue mixture. Gently fold these ingredients into the mixture using a spatula until fully combined.
6. Shape the Mini Pavlovas:
- Spoon the meringue onto the lined baking sheet, forming small nests. You can create a slight indentation in the center of each nest with the back of the spoon to hold toppings later.
7. Bake the Meringues:
- Reduce the oven temperature to 250°F (120°C) just before placing the baking sheet inside. Bake the mini pavlovas for 50-60 minutes. They should be crisp on the outside but marshmallowy on the inside.
8. Cool the Meringues:
- Turn off the oven and leave the meringue nests inside to cool completely with the oven door slightly ajar. This helps prevent cracking.
9. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooled, top your mini pavlovas with whipped cream, fresh berries, or any desired toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful, airy treats!

Tips:

- 1. Ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and dry before whipping the egg whites; any grease or water can prevent them from reaching the right consistency.

- 2. Add the sugar slowly to the egg whites to avoid deflating the mixture and ensure it fully dissolves, creating a smooth texture.

- 3. Baking at a low temperature is key to achieving that perfect crunchy exterior and soft interior.

- 4. If you’re not serving the pavlovas immediately, store them in an airtight container to keep them crisp.

- 5. Experiment with different toppings such as passion fruit, kiwi, or berries to add variety and flavor.

Mini pavlovas are a versatile and elegant dessert that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. With their meringue base that pairs beautifully with cream and fruit, these bite-sized treats are sure to impress your guests. Follow these tips and steps to achieve perfect mini pavlovas every time, and get creative with your favorite toppings for a personalized twist.
