WEIGHT CONVERTER
20cm (8in) deep, loose-based flan tin, greased and lined with baking parchment
Method
- To make your pavlova (opens in new tab), set the oven to Gas Mark 1 or 140ºC. Put the egg whites into a clean, grease-free bowl and whisk, with an electric mixer, until stiff peaks form.
- Continue to whisk, adding the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is stiff and glossy. Add the cornflour, vinegar and vanilla, then whisk together to combine.
- Spoon one-third of the meringue mixture into the tin and spread over the base. Sprinkle most of the nuts over. Spoon the rest of the meringue around the sides and sprinkle with the rest of the nuts.
- Bake for 1¼ hours, or until firm around the edges and slightly soft in the centre. Cool.
- Whip the double cream to soft peaks, then stir in the crème fraîche, vanilla and sugar.Take the pavlova out of the tin, carefully peel away the baking parchment and put ot on to a serving plate.
- Spoon in the cream, top with the strawberries and cherries and drizzle with the liqueur. Serve within 2 hours.
Top Tip for making Macadamia pavlova
Spooning the meringue into a lined flan ring helps it keep shape during cooking, but you can spread it directly on to a tray lined with baking parchment, if you like
