Australian Smashed Pavlova
What you’ll need (Serves 6-8):
- 6 egg whites
- 1 ½ cups caster sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons white vinegar
- 1 ½ cups thickened cream
- 2 tablespoons Queen Garnet Plum Nectar + another 2 tablespoons
- Queen Garnet Plums for decorating
How to make it:
- Preheat oven to 120°C. Place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Slowly add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, waiting 30 seconds between each spoonful. Once all the sugar has been added, scrape down the sides of the bowl and whisk for a further 5 minutes or until the mixture is stiff and glossy.
- Add the vinegar and whisk for 4 minutes or until glossy and combined.
- Pile spoonfuls of the meringue onto a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper and shape to form a large mound. Drizzle meringue with Queen Garnet Plum Nectar and swirl gently with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes or until dry and crisp to the touch.
- Turn the oven off and allow the pavlova to cool completely in the oven, or overnight.
- Whip cream until thick.
- Place the pavlova on a cake stand or plate and top with the cream, more swirled Queen Garnet Plum Nectar and sliced fresh plums.
