Light strawberry pavlova cake
Chef Mukesh Rawat, Academy of Pastry Arts, Bangalore
Ingredients
110gm egg whites, room temperature, pinch sea salt, 110gm castor sugar, 1gm cream of tartar, 2gm pure vanilla extract, 400gmnon-fat whipped dairy topping, 2 pints fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 120 degrees Celsius.
2. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet pan. Draw a 9-inch circle on the paper, using a 9-inch plate as a guide. Then, turn the paper over so the circle is on the reverse side.
3. Place the room temperature egg whites and salt in the bowl. Beat the egg whites with using a kitchen aid on high speed until firm, about 1 minute. With the mixer still on high, slowly add the sugar and cream of tartar and beat until it makes firm, shiny peaks, about two minutes.
4. Add vanilla and fold in lightly with a rubber spatula. Pile the meringue into the middle of the circle on the parchment paper and smooth it within the circle, shaping it into a round nest. Bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven, keep the door closed and allow the meringue to cool completely in the oven, about 2 hours longer. It should be crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
5. Invert the meringue disc onto a plate and spread the top completely with non-fat whipped dairy topping. Top with fresh sliced strawberries-spoon the berries carefully into the middle of the Pavlova, leaving a border of cream and meringue.
