PAVLOVA WITH PASSIONFRUIT CURD
Preparation Time:
15 minutes
Cook Time:
50 minutes
Ingredients:
Pavlova:
6 egg whites, large
250g caster sugar
2 tsp white vinegar
1 tbs cornflour
300ml double cream, to serve
Passionfruit Curd:
6 passionfruit
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
150g caster sugar
100g butter
Method:
1. Pre-heat oven to 150°c. Line a flat baking tray with paper.
2. Place the egg whites in a mixing bowl and whisk on high to soft peaks. Gradually whisk
in the caster sugar in intervals until the mixture is thick and glossy. Stir through the
vinegar and cornflour and mix just to combine.
3. Pile the mixture onto the prepared tray in a circle shape and gently smooth over the
top, keeping the pavlova nice and high. Place in the oven, turn the temperature down to
120°c and bake for 50 minutes. Turn the oven off, open the oven door slightly and leave
the pavlova to ‘dry out’ for a further 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, place the passionfruit pulp into the food processor and blitz to loosen the
seeds. Leave to strain into a jug or bowl.
5. Place the eggs, egg yolks and sugar in the beaker or a jug and beat using the whisk
attachment until pale and frothy (about 2 minutes).
6. Melt the butter over a low heat and then stir in the sugar/egg mixture along with the
passionfruit juice. Stir vigorously until thickened – do not boil. Take off the heat and
whisk in the passionfruit pulp including the seeds. Pour the passionfruit curd into a jug
and place in the refrigerator.
7. Whip the cream to soft peaks and serve with the pavlova with a generous drizzle of
passionfruit curd.
Serves 6-8
Tip:
Left over passionfruit curd will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
