Pavlova is a meringue based Dessert that is baked and then topped with heavy Whipped Cream and Berries originating either in Australia or New Zealand in the early 20th century. It was named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova.
Pavlova is one of those Desserts that is actually very tricky and hence many people are scared to give it a try. It cracks when baked and sometimes to a great extent too but that is what makes it perfect. It should have those cracks and there is nothing wrong in it and infact it can be covered up with the Whipped Cream.
It is basically a Summer Dessert and is made and enjoyed in the Season. But remember that it should not be made in humid conditions. Also use only Egg whites for the meringue and not a single drop of the Yolk should be there. Otherwise it won't be fluffy and wouldn't set properly. Use cold beater and the bowl for that good stiff peaks.
Oven temperature should also be very low. Do not hurry about it.
This was my first ever try at this incredible Dessert for Iftaar meals this Ramadan. And it came out so good. Crisp on the outside and melt in mouth and soft from the inside with a lovely crunch of the Strawberries. It was a total bliss.

Enjoy Baking with Zeen!

Steps

1 1/4 hours

1

Separate the whites and the yolk while the eggs are cold. Set aside whites to come down to the room temperature.
2

Preheat oven to 170°. Beat whites until soft peaks are formed. Use a tablespoon of sugar at a time while beating as you proceed with it. There should be no traces of sugar once done if you check a little of it rubbing in between your fingers. The whites would look fluffy.
3

Fold in the vinegar and the cornflour with a spatula just until mixed through.
4

Carefully scoop out a big tablespoon of the meringue on a parchment paper lined baking tray leaving a little space between each making them dome shaped but not too tall or high up. Otherwise if it is too taller, it might collapse while baking.
5

Place the tray in the oven and bring down the temperature to 100°. Now bake for one and half an hour without any peeking. It is a must for a good pavlova.
6

Let these beautiful looking mini pavlovas cool down. Top each with a generous dollop of whipped cream and strawberries. Serve it for Iftaar meals this Ramadan. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
