Ingredients
6 large egg whites (room temperature)
1.5 cups caster sugar (superfine sugar)
1 teaspoon white vinegar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.5 cups heavy whipping cream (chilled)
2 large ripe mangoes (sliced)
4–5 fresh passionfruits (pulp extracted)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and draw an 8-inch circle on the paper as a guide, then flip the paper over.
Step 2: In a clean, grease-free glass or metal bowl, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Step 3: Gradually add the caster sugar one tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly on high speed until the meringue is thick, glossy, and the sugar has completely dissolved.
Step 4: Gently fold in the white vinegar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Step 5: Pile the meringue onto the prepared parchment paper within the circle guide. Use a spatula to smooth the sides and create a slight indent in the center for the toppings.
Step 6: Lower the oven temperature to 120°C (250°F) and bake for 90 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the pavlova inside with the door slightly ajar until completely cool.
Step 7: Once cooled, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Spread the cream over the center of the meringue.
Step 8: Top with fresh mango slices and drizzle the passionfruit pulp over the entire dessert just before serving.
Notes
Always ensure your bowl and whisk are completely free of grease. For the best results, assemble the pavlova immediately before serving to prevent the meringue from becoming soggy.
