It’s that time of the year again when the sun shines and we create new memories. Christmas is just a few weeks away and why not make this perfect summer pav to empress the family!

Looks and tastes great plus it’s a great way to use up left over eggs!

 

Iingredients:

150gm egg whites, room temp (4-5 eggs)
1 cup caster sugar
2 tsp white vinegar
2 tbsp corn flour

To Decorate:
250ml cream, whipped
1 mango, diced
250gm Strawberries, sliced
1/3 c Passionfruit pulp

Method:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 150 degrees.
  2. In clean bowl whisk egg whites to soft peaks. Gradually add sugar, whisking well until mixture is glossy and stiff. (hold peaks when whisk removed)
  3. Add vinegar and sifted cornflour, whisk until just combined.
  4. Line baking tray with baking paper, draw a large circle as a guide if needed i like mine more rustic.
  5. Spoon meringue mix into the centre of the circle piling it high then pushing out towards the edges to make a rough circle. Don’t make it to skinny though!! 
  6. Drop oven temp to 120 degrees and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, Do Not open the door during the cooking process. Turn of oven and leave pav to cool inside it.
  7. Once cool wither store in an airtight container for 1-4 days or decorate like seen below.
