Instructions

Meringue

  • Preheat oven to 120°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper, lightly spray with oil or butter, then dust with cornflour and shake off any excess.
  • Using a electric mixer, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add the caster sugar, one tablespoon at a time, whisking well after each addition until sugar is dissolved.
  • Once all the sugar has been added, whisk on high speed for 3 minutes. Gently fold in vinegar and vanilla essence.
  • Spoon all of the meringue onto the prepared tray and shape it into a large round.
  • Bake for 1 hour, or until the meringue is crisp.
  • Allow to cool completely.

Fruit Components

  • Prepare each fruit components to IDDSI Level 4 Pureed, including kiwi fruits and peaches. Or choose your own fruit toppings using our range of pureed fruit recipes. For moulding, use Shape It Moulds.
  • Keep components separate to maintain their individual flavours and familiar presentation.

Assemble and Serve

  • Gently remove the crisp crust from the top of the meringue and grind it into a fine dust for garnish.
  • Cut the marshmallow-like centre into individual serves, or leave the meringue whole for a classic pavlova presentation.
  • Top with whipped cream, arrange pureed fruit decoratively on top, and drizzle with sauces to taste.
  • Before serving, test for IDDSI Level 4 Pureed: To test, use the Spoon Tilt Test and Fork Drip Test. It should be smooth and free of lumps. For more information on IDDSI testing, click here.
  • Arrange on a platter or individual plates.
