Ingredients

Pavlova

Lemon curd

To assemble

Method

Pavlova

  • Preheat oven to 150°C fan forced. Mark a 23cm circle onto a sheet of baking paper. Turn baking paper over and place onto an upturned large greased baking tray (this makes it easier for sliding pavlova off tray once cooked).
  • Place egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixture. Whisk on high speed until stiff peaks.
  • Gradually add sugar a tablespoon at a time, making sure sugar is dissolved between each addition. Once sugar is added, scrape down sides of bowl if needed. Whisk for a further 6 minutes, or until mixture is thick and glossy.
  • Add vinegar and whisk for further 2 minutes. Spoon meringue onto paper. Use a pallet knife to shape the meringue into peaks.
  • Place in oven, reduce oven temperature to 120°C fan forced and bake for 1 hour or until dry. Turn off oven and allow pavlova to cool completely. Meanwhile, make the lemon curd.

Lemon curd

  • Place yolks, sugar, lemon rind and juice in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Place in a small saucepan with butter.
  • Place over medium heat, bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. When it comes to the boil, take off heat and strain through a fine sieve. Refrigerate until cold.

To assemble

  • Place pavlova on serving plate, top with lemon curd, kiwifruit and sprinkle with pistachio.

Tips & Hints:

  • When passionfruit is in season, drizzle with the pulp of 3 passionfruit.
