Ingredients
Pavlova with greek yoghurt and raspberries
- 4 egg whites
- 225 gram caster sugar, lumps smoothed out with a spoon
- 1 teaspoon cornflour
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 500 gram greek-style honey yoghurt
- 300 gram raspberries
- icing sugar, for dusting
Method
Pavlova with greek yoghurt and raspberries
- 1Preheat oven to 120°C. Put egg whites and a pinch of salt in a grease-free bowl and mix with an electric mixer until very stiff.
- 2Continue beating while adding caster sugar a tablespoon at a time. Whisk for several minutes until very stiff then turn off machine and sprinkle over cornflour, vinegar and vanilla extract. Use a large metal spoon to carefully mix ingredients together without deflating the whipped whites.
- 3Transfer mixture in dollops to a baking tray lined with baking paper and shape into a rough round, about 20cm in diameter – don't try to make it perfect and smooth because you'll knock out air.
- 4Bake in oven for 1 hour, by which time the meringue should be crisp on the top; it may be slightly sunken under the crisp shell but this is normal. Turn oven off and leave pavlova in oven for at least 1 hour but preferably until the oven is cool (overnight is fine, just remember to remove it before you start the oven again).
- 5Just before serving, carefully peel away baking paper from underneath pavlova and transfer pavlova to a cake plate.
- 6Beat yoghurt until smooth then put dollops of yoghurt on top of the pavlova. Strew with raspberries then either leave at room temperature for up to 2 hours, or transfer to the fridge.
- 7Dust raspberries with icing sugar before serving. I think the pavlova is at its best about 4-8 hours after assembling.
