Reuse this content. This recipe uses 7 egg whites, which weigh 7. The ratio I use is, each 30 — 32 g of egg whites, use 50 — 55 g of sugar.
I like to separate the egg whites from the yolk into a smaller bowl first, before adding them into the mixing bowl to be measured. This way, if you accidentally break a yolk and get it into the whites, you can just replace that one egg rather than having to discard ALL the egg whites that were contaminated with the egg yolk. The whisking speed is crucial for a stable meringue base. Most people tend to increase the speed to get the egg whites to the right consistency faster, but this could cause the pavlova to collapse as it bakes adding air too fast will also deflate the meringue quicker.
Going slow is the key. In a mixer with 10 speeds, I never go beyond speed 4 for the whole duration of whisking my pavlova base. I only increase the speed to about 6 in the last 30 — 45 seconds to mix the cornstarch and vinegar. This means it takes a while to get that pavlova ready… but you prevent the meringue from being over-whisked.
So at first, you will only be whisking the egg whites at speed 3 or 4 until it reaches soft peaks stage. This can take up to about 10 minutes. I prefer adding them a little at a time about 1 — 2 tbsp at a time , with 30 seconds between each addition.
You want the sugar to be almost completely dissolved before adding sugar again. This can take between 10 — 20 minutes, so keep the speed of the mixer low 3 — 4 speed. Once all the sugar is added, keep whisking it. The mixture would have deflated slightly, and look a little runny. This can take as little time as 10 — 15 minutes with caster sugar , or 20 — 30 minutes with blended granulated sugar , or over 45 minutes with granulated sugar — which is why you should avoid using it.
To check if the sugar is dissolved — take a little meringue to your finger tip and rub it between your thumb and index finger. If you feel any sugar granules, then it needs more time to whisk. This is added right at the end. Make sure there are NO LUMPS in the slurry, and add it after all the sugar has dissolved, and then mix it into the pavlova within 30 — 45 seconds. This is the only time I increase the speed to about 5 — 6.
Pavlova is baked in a low heat oven to make sure it dries out slowly. Draw an 8 inch 20 cm circle on the parchment paper, so that you have a guide for the shape of your pavlova. Use a second, clean spatula to scoop out the meringue mix from the bowl. This is to avoid the meringue right at the top, just in case it might have any undissolved sugar crystals in them.
Once you have the basic shape of the pavlova ready, use the offset spatula to create vertical furrows on the side of the pavlova,while moving the offset spatula from bottom to top. Create soft edges and flatten any pointed meringue.
Swirl the middle of the pavlova as well to create a spiral furrow. See pictures in the post to get a better idea. For no more than 24 hours.
Now that you know how to make a perfect pavlova base, you also need to know how to top it to make the classic pavlova that we all know and love! A classic pavlova is topped with sweetened vanilla whipped cream i. A classic version usually always has kiwi fruit especially in NZ and Australia , but you can use whatever is available. So there you have it! You can still salvage your pavlova…. You now have an ambrosia salad with crunchy bits of meringue.
Not an eton mess exactly, because there will be marshmallowy bits in there. Looking for more recipes? Sign up for my free recipe newsletter to get new recipes in your inbox each week! Find me sharing more inspiration on Pinterest and Instagram.

I am now back in Glasgow with its dampness and moisture, and I have never had a problem. Good Luck Happy Baking….. Now if there is someone out there who knows how to eat it without gaining weight…let me know …OK? Hi, I usually add cream of tartar to my pavlova along with cornflour and it comes out really well.
This time I added Apple cider vinegar and cornflour, however, my pavlova had liquid in the bottom when baking and the pavlova deflated. Is this due to the vinegar? Hi Aisha I always make pavlova with the vinegar cornstarch slurry, as this is the classic way to get the marshmallow-y center.
Author: Dini K. Yield: One 8 - 9 inch pavlova. Cuisine: Australasian, Australia, New Zealand. A detailed, step by step recipe on how to make the Perfect Pavlova! A crisp outer shell and a soft, airy and fluffy marshmallow center!
A classic New Zealand and Australian dessert. Prep: 2 hours. Cool time inside the oven : 8 hours. Cook: 1 hour 30 minutes. Total Time: 11 hours 30 minutes. Difficulty: Intermediate. Servings: 12 servings. Instructions: Pavlova Base Make sure all the equipment is clean and dry mixer bowl, whisk, two spatulas, sugar bowl, bowls to separate egg yolks and whites etc. Cut a piece of parchment paper that's big enough to line a baking tray.
Line the baking tray with the parchment paper with the drawn circle on the underside. Set aside until needed. Carefully break an egg, and strain the egg white into a small clean bowl, taking care not to break the egg yolk.
Once you've successfully separated the egg white, transfer this into a mixer bowl that is on a weighing scale. Repeat with more eggs, until you have g of egg whites give or take 5 grams. If you get any yolk into the egg white, you must discard the contaminated egg white and start again with another egg. Do not throw away the egg yolks, since you can make other recipes with them see end of the post for some ideas. Store egg yolks in an air-tight container, with a layer of water to coat them on top.
Once the egg whites are measured and in the mixer bowl, whisk the egg whites on speed 4 on a 10 speed mixer until it reaches soft peak stage i. This may take about 10 minutes.
When the egg whites are at soft peak stage, lower the speed to 3, and add the sugar, 1 - 2 tbsp at a time. Make sure each addition of sugar is dissolved before adding the next. I wait about 30 seconds between each addition. Also scrape down the sides of the bowl at least once, while adding the sugar.
