Instructions

Meringue Shell:

  • Prepare your mixer and make sure your bowl and mixer paddle is clean from any oil or water.
  • Prepare your piping bag and also baking tray that has already been lined with parchment paper.
  • Separate the egg whites and egg yolks. Make sure there is no egg yolk mixture in the egg whites.
  • In a bowl, add the egg whites and start the mixer at medium speed.
  • Beat the egg whites for 10 seconds or until foamy then add in the cream of tartar.
  • Mix again and while mixing, add in castor sugar continuously.
  • Continue mixing until the meringue forms stiff peaks.
  • When you see that the meringue produces a sharp thorn when you pull out the mixer, it means the meringue is ready! Another way you can check is to try flipping your bowl. The meringue should not fall!
  • After that, add in cornstarch together with lemon juice and mix again until everything is well combined.
  • Take the piping bag, and slowly add in the meringue using the spatula.
  • Cut at the edges of piping bag, and slowly pipe in a circular motion for 4 layers.
  • Fill in the centre of meringue. Continue piping until the meringue is finished. This recipe creates 20 pieces of mini pavlovas.
  • You can scrape the side of the meringue using offset spatula to get a nicer side or you can just leave it like that.
  • Now, the meringue is ready to bake! Set your temperature at 120�c for 60 minutes.

Topping:

  • While you are letting the meringue cool, you can start beating your whipping cream.
  • Make sure the whipping cream is cool and set your mixer to medium speed, beat the whipping cream until it makes firm peaks. Set aside.
  • Take the cooled meringue and spread the whipping cream on top! For a nicer look, you can use the wilton 1M nozzle and start piping the whipping cream on top of the meringue!
  • Top your meringue with fresh fruits and fresh mint leaves!
  • Lastly, dust with cocoa powder and your mini pavlovas are ready to eat!
