Great for an Australia Day treat or light dessert all year round, this Aussie Shaped Pav looks amazing and tastes even better!

Ingredients

  • 6 egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1½ cups CSR Caster sugar
  • 1½ tbsp White Wings Cornflour
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • Mixed fresh fruit of your choice

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 120⁰C conventional or 100⁰C fan-forced.
  2. Put egg whites and sugar into a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Increase speed to high and beat for 15 minutes or until mixture is thick and glossy. Add cornflour and vinegar and beat on low speed for 1 minute longer.
  3. Trace the shape of Australia with a pencil on to your baking paper, and line your baking tray with the baking paper. Spoon mixture onto your tray following the shape.
  4. Shape the edges of your pavlova by smoothing the sides in an upward motion, towards the centre. This will help hold the shape of your pavlova.
  5. Bake for 2 hours or until crisp. Turn oven off. Cool pavlova in oven with door ajar for 1-2 hours.
  6. Carefully transfer pavlova to a plate. Top with fresh whipped cream and berries of your choice. Add passionfruit pulp as a finishing touch.
