Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160 °C.
-
Draw a large circle on a piece of baking paper. Flip it over (ink side down) and place it on a large circular baking tray.
- In a small bowl add the vinegar and cornflour. Mix until completely smooth.
- Moving onto the meringue now. The bowl that you are whisking the egg whites in must be completely dry and grease free.
-
Start whisking the egg whites until they become foamy.
-
Continue whisking and gradually add the sugar 1 table spoon at a time.
-
Keep whisking until the mix is thick and glossy. Test the mixture by rubbing a small amount between your fingers. If it feels grainy then keep whisking.
-
When the meringue is done it should be at stiff peak.
- Stir in the vinegar mixture.
-
Spoon the meringue onto the line on the baking paper.
- Keep spooning the mixture around that line so you make a ring shape.
-
Use the back of the spoon to smooth down the edges of the wreath so it looks like one complete shape.
- Move the meringue to the oven and reduce the heat to 140 °C.
- Leave to bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Turn the oven off. Leave the meringue to cool down for an hour or two.
- Very gently transfer the pavlova onto a large plate. It is totally normal for a pavlova to crack.
- Place the cream and vanilla into a medium bowl. Whip until the cream comes to stiff peaks.
-
Spoon the cream onto the pavlova.
-
Place the fruit and mint leaves on top of the cream.
- Congratulations you have made a delicious pavlova Christmas wreath.
-
Serve, devour, and enjoy.
