THE BEST PAVLOVA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Draw a 9 inch circle on the parchment. An easy way to do this is to draw around the outside of a 9 inch pan with a pencil.
• In a large bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. Add 3/4 cup of the sugar gradually, while continuing to whip. Make sure sugar is completely dissolved. Mix together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the cornstarch; lightly fold into meringue with lemon juice.
• Spread a layer of meringue to fit circle on parchment, approximately 1/4 inch thick. With remainder of mixture, pipe or spoon swirls around the edges to form a shallow bowl shape.
• Bake at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 1 hour. Turn off oven, but leave meringue in oven for an additional 30 minutes. When cool, the meringue should be hard on the outside, and slightly moist on the inside.
• In a large bowl, combine the cream and half a cup of confectioners sugar, and whip until thickened. Decorate with fruit of your choice; strawberries are excellent.

CHERRY, ROSE & PISTACHIO PAVLOVA TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1. Line a large, flat baking tray with baking parchment. Place the egg whites in a large, grease-free bowl with a pinch of salt. Using clean, electric beaters, whisk until the eggs hold soft peaks. Add the sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, whisking well between each addition, until the meringue is thick and glossy, and will hold up in stiff peaks on the end of the beaters. Add the vinegar and cornflour and whisk again until combined. Using a large spoon, pile the meringue onto your baking tray, then spread to a rectangle, roughly A4 size. Use the back of the spoon to make peaks and dips in the meringue to create an attractive texture. Bake in the centre of the oven for 1 hr 20 mins, then turn off the oven and leave the pavlova inside to cool overnight.
• Just before serving, assemble the pavlova. Very softly whip the cream, then fold through the coconut yogurt and rose water. Remove the pavlova from the baking parchment and place on a large serving plate or board. Dollop the coconut cream on top, then top with the cherries, and scatter over the pistachios and rose petals, if using. Serve straight away.
