This elegant dessert features a crisp, light meringue base topped with luscious whipped cream and a tantalizing strawberry-lime topping, making it perfect for any special occasion or simply as a treat to enjoy at home.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they become frothy.
- Gradually add the 1/4 cup sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuously beating on high speed. Beat until stiff peaks form and the meringue is glossy.
- Gently fold in the corn flour, vinegar, and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Spread the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking tray, shaping it into a rectangular or oval shape, about 1-inch thick.
- Place the tray in the preheated oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 250°F (120°C). Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. After baking, turn off the oven and leave the pavlova inside to cool completely with the oven door slightly ajar.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with the lime juice and lime zest. Toss gently to coat.
- Once the pavlova has cooled completely, spread the whipped cream evenly over the top.
- Spoon the strawberry mixture over the whipped cream.
- Carefully transfer the pavlova to a serving platter. Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your delightful strawberry and lime tray pavlova!
Tips:
- Ensure the bowl and beaters are completely clean and dry before whipping the egg whites to achieve maximum volume.
- Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites to help create a smooth and glossy meringue.
- After baking, allow the meringue to cool slowly inside the oven with the door slightly ajar to prevent it from cracking.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the topping to enhance the flavor.
- For an extra kick of flavor, consider garnishing with additional lime zest before serving.
This Strawberry and Lime Tray Pavlova perfectly balances the sweetness of strawberries with the tartness of lime, set atop a light and crispy meringue. With its elegant presentation and delicious flavor, it’s sure to become a favorite for gatherings and celebrations. Enjoy every delightful bite!
