Two Tier Pavlova with Mixed Berries Serves 10
6 egg whites
1 ½ cups caster sugar
3 teaspoons vinegar
1 ½ tablespoons cornflour
2 teaspoons rosewater
red food colouring (optional)
600ml thickened cream
300g fresh or frozen mixed berries
1. Preheat oven to 120°c. Line two baking
trays with baking paper.
2. Ensure the Mixmaster bowl is thoroughly
cleaned, set bowl speed on High and beat
egg whites on Very High speed (11) until
stiff.
3. Gradually add the sugar, 1-2 tablespoons
at a time, making sure that the sugar has
dissolved between each addition. This will
take about 8-10 minutes. Scrape the sides
down if necessary.
4. Once the sugar has been added take the
bowl speed to Low and reduce mixing
speed to Low (2), and fold in vinegar,
cornflour, rosewater and 3-4 drops of
colouring until combined.
5. Spread mixture into two even sized disks
approximately 23cm wide. Bake in oven
for 1 hour. Turn oven off and allow pavlova
to cool with the door slightly ajar.
6. Using the Mixmaster bowl set the bowl
speed to Low and beat cream on Medium
speed (5) until thickened.
7. Once cool, place one pavlova onto a
serving plate. Top with half the cream and
half the berries, top with the other pavlova
and the remaining cream and berries.
Tip: If using frozen berries, thaw the berries
on absorbent paper to soak up the extra
juices.
