Hello everyone, can we just take a moment to applaud my recent efforts to be more consistent with uploading content on my page for you all. I have really shocked myself.
With summer on our doorstep I thought I would share my Pavlova recipe, which was something I mastered during lockdown. This pudding brings back fond memories from family barbeques when Nanny Holliday would make her famous pavlova and there was never any left overs.
You will need:
6 large free-range egg whites
350g/12oz caster sugar
600ml/20fl oz double cream
2 tbsp icing sugar
Desired fruit decoration (I usually use Strawberries)
Method
Preheat the oven to 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3 and line a large baking tray with baking parchment.
Put the egg whites in a clean mixing bowl and whisk with an electric whisk until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed. Gradually add the sugar a little at a time, whisking on maximum speed until they are stiff and glossy.
Spoon the meringue onto the baking parchment.
Transfer to the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 140C/120C Fan/Gas 1. Bake for 1 hour–1 hour 15 minutes, until the outside is hard but still white. Turn the oven off and leave the pavlova inside for an hour or overnight to cool and dry.
To assemble, whip the cream and the icing sugar until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed. Spoon the cream into the trench in the meringue. Arrange your chosen fruit on the stop to decorate, and then serve.
Pavlova is a family tradition for my family, and helps us bring us all together, tag me on instagram so I can see you all recreate these.
All my love
Amelia Holliday
