Prep time: 2 hours
Makes: 10 servings
What you’ll need
For the Pavlova
- 6 egg whites
- 1 1/2 cups unrefined sugar
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp arrowroot
- 1 tbsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp vanilla powder
- Pinch of salt
For the topping
- 2 passionfruit
- 1 cup berries
- 1/2 mango, chopped
- 2 cups coconut yoghurt
How to make it
STEP 1 Pre-heat oven to 120°C. Draw a 20cm circle on baking paper.
STEP 2 Whisk egg whites, vanilla & salt to soft peaks. Add sugar gradually in small batches. Ensure sugar is dissolved by rubbing some meringue between fingers. Add remaining pavlova ingredients and mix well.
STEP 3 Pour mixture onto baking paper, in the circle you’ve drawn.
STEP 4 Once preheated, reduce oven temperature to 100°C. Place pavlova in oven, and after 15 minutes reduce temperature to 80°C. Cook for a further 1½ hours. Once finished, open the oven door leaving the pavlova inside, and allow to cool overnight.
STEP 5 15 minutes before serving, spread the coconut yoghurt across the top of the pavlova and garnish with fruit.
