Method
- To make this pavlova, heat oven to Mark 1/ 130˚C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Whisk in the caster sugar until glossy and it forms stiff peaks; then whisk in the vinegar, cornflour and vanilla.
- For the meringue: Spoon 2/3 of the meringue onto 1 tray, and spread it out with a spoon to a 25cm circle with a slight 'lip'; use the remainder for a 15cm circle on the other tray. Put the smaller meringue on the lower shelf, the larger above and bake for 1 hr 30 mins. Cool in the oven.
- Whisk together the cream and icing sugar until quite thick. Add the liqueur to taste and whisk briefly until softly whipped. Chill until required.
- For the filling: Using a stick blender or liquidiser, purée the 2 chopped peaches with the passionfruit, then pass through a fine sieve to make a smooth coulis.
- To serve, carefully remove the baking paper from the meringues, put the large meringue on a serving plate, top with 2⁄3 cream, and scatter over 2⁄3 peach slices and some coulis. Put the other meringue on top, spoon over the rest of the cream, fruit and coulis.
