Posted on November 24, 2015 by nerinatimm in desserts
Festive Pavlova it is indeed. You can tone it up or down, it always has a jaw-drop effect on your guests.
I make a festive Pavlova often, Valentine’s Day is always a good enough occasion and also Easter. I even have a festive pavlova recipe for when the end of the month blues hot you!
So you see, it definitely is a recipe you can dress up or down, depending on the occasion. With Christmas lurking around the corner, I bet you all are looking for easy dessert recipes and this Festive Pavlova with lime and fresh berries is just what you were looking for.
Follow me on:
- 6 egg whites
- 300 g caster sugar
- zest of 1 lime
- 500 ml cream
- 250 ml strawberries - hulled and cut in quarters
- 100 ml blueberries
- 100 ml raspberries
- 15 ml caster sugar
- fresh mint
- 250 ml raspberries
- 10 ml water
- zest of 1 lime
- Preheat the oven to 150 C.
- Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
- Place all the egg whites in your mixer and whisk until it forms stiff soft peaks. Add the caster sugar a little at a time while the machine is running. After you have added all the sugar, whisk for another 5 - 6 minutes.
- Add the lime zest to the meringue mixture and fold in.
- Spoon the meringue mixture onto the baking sheet and make a round "heap" and with the back end of your spoon, make a flat top so that there is space for the berries and cream.
- Bake for 1 hour, switch the oven off and let the pavlova cool off in the oven.
- When ready to eat, whisk the cream and caster sugar to soft peaks and spoon onto the pavlova. Top with all the berries and sprigs of mint and serve with the raspberry sauce.
- Lastly grate the lime zest over the pavlova.
- Place the raspberries, water and icing sugar in a blender and blend to a pureé. Pour into a small jug and serve with the dessert.
After baking, you can place the pavlova in an airtight container and it will keep for a few days.
What a WONDERFUL idea. I have a heap of egg whites left from a mayonnaise-making marathon. I think I’ll try this, Nina. If it works, I’ll include it on the Christmas menu. Thanks so much for the recipe.
Omg! It looks so good! I found this recipe just in time for my husband’s birthday!
