Kiwifruit Pavlova Recipe

Australian/New Zealand · Dessert · 90 min total

A light and airy meringue base topped with whipped cream and fresh kiwifruit, creating a stunning dessert that's both crisp and creamy.

Ingredients

• 6 large egg whites, at room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups (300g) superfine sugar
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 ripe kiwifruit, peeled and sliced
• 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw a 9-inch (23cm) circle as a guide.
2. In a large clean bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add superfine sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition until stiff, glossy peaks form.
3. Sprinkle cornstarch, vinegar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract over the meringue; fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
4. Spoon meringue onto the parchment circle, shaping into a round with slightly higher edges. Bake for 60 minutes, then turn off oven and let meringue cool completely inside with door slightly ajar (about 1 hour).
5. In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Spread whipped cream over cooled meringue.
6. Arrange kiwifruit slices on top of cream. Garnish with mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips

• Ensure no yolk gets into the egg whites for proper meringue volume.
• For a drier meringue, leave in the oven after baking with door closed until completely cool.
• Assemble just before serving to keep the meringue crisp.
