The Bakery Chef™ makes short work of transforming the humble egg white into a billowy meringue perfection. Cooked low and slow for a crisp exterior and soft mallow middle, just whisk up the cream and pile on the berries.
1Preheat the oven to 275°F. Grease a baking sheet. Mark a 9-inch circle on a sheet of parchment paper. Place the paper, marked-side down on the baking sheet.
2Assemble the mixer using the glass mixing bowl and whisk attachment. Add the egg whites to the bowl. Slowly turn the mixer to AERATE/WHIP setting and whisk until soft peaks form.
3Gradually add the sugar and continue beating for 10 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves and the egg whites are thick and glossy.
4Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, using the marking as a guide, shape the side into a dome.
5Bake for 1 hour, or until the pavlova is dry and crisp.
6Turn the oven off and allow the pavlova to cool in the oven with the door ajar.
7Once cooled, assemble the mixer using the stainless steel mixing bowl and whisk attachment. Add the cream to the bowl. Slowly turn the mixer to CREAMING/BEATING setting and whisk until soft peaks form.
8Top the pavlova with the whipped cream, strawberries and passionfruit pulp. Serve.
