After a delicious dessert recipe for Christmas? Sonia from Victoria says her pavlova roll brings the family together over the festive season – try it today.
Ingredients
4 free range egg whites
3/4 cup caster sugar
1 tsp cornflour
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
250g strawberries
300ml thickened cream, whipped
57g canned passionfruit pulp (see Tip)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 170℃/150℃ fan-forced. Grease a 26cm x 32cm Swiss roll pan. Line with baking paper, allowing paper to overhang by 2cm on all sides.
Step 2
Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until sugar dissolves. Add cornflour, vinegar and vanilla, and beat until combined.
Step 3
Spoon mixture into pan and spread to cover (see Tip) and smooth top. Bake for 20 minutes or until browned lightly and cooked through. Stand for 20 minutes to cool. Lift meringue with paper from pan and place on a clean work surface.
Instruction tip
Tip:
When spreading the meringue on the tray, spread it evenly so it cooks evenly otherwise it will undercook in the thicker areas and burn in the thinner areas.
Step 4
Roughly chop two-thirds of the strawberries. Spread two-thirds of the cream over meringue and scatter with chopped strawberries. Using paper as a guide, roll meringue firmly from long side. Place on a serving plate, then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
Step 5
Thickly slice remaining strawberries. Spoon remaining cream along centre of meringue roll. Decorate with sliced strawberries and drizzle with passionfruit pulp. Serve.
