Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a clean, dry mixing bowl, add the 4 egg whites. Beat them with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
3. Incorporate the Sugar:
- Gradually add the 1 cup of sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuously beating on high speed. Continue until the meringue is glossy and forms stiff peaks.
- Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of corn flour over the meringue mixture, and then add the 1 teaspoon of vinegar. Gently fold these into the meringue until just combined.
- Using a large spoon, dollop the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet into small nest shapes, creating a slight indentation in the center of each to hold the cream and berries later.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour. The meringues should be crisp on the outside and slightly soft on the inside. After baking, turn off the oven and let the meringues cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar.
- Once the meringues have cooled, whisk the 1 cup light sour cream slightly to ensure smooth consistency.
- Gently place one meringue nest in the bottom of a serving cup.
- Spoon a generous dollop of light sour cream into the center of the meringue nest.
- Top with a handful of fresh or thawed raspberries.
- Serve immediately for a delightful, light dessert.
Tips:
- Ensure that your mixing bowl and beaters are clean and dry before whipping the egg whites to achieve maximum volume.
- Gradually add sugar to the egg whites to ensure it dissolves completely, giving your meringue a smooth texture.
- Prepare the meringue cups ahead of time and store them in an airtight container until you are ready to assemble and serve the dessert.
- Gently fold in the corn flour and vinegar to avoid deflating the whipped egg whites.
With its combination of crispy meringue, tangy sour cream, and fresh raspberries, Pav in a cup offers a perfect balance of textures and flavors. By following this recipe, you can produce a stunning and delicious dessert that is sure to be a hit with anyone who tries it. Enjoy the blend of sweetness and tartness in every bite!
