My mum has always been famous among her friends and family for her delicious pavlova. Growing up I would look forward to special occassions when she would whip up a pav for our guests. Now as an adult, we make them together.
Pavlova

Ingredients
- 6 egg whites
- 2 cups caster sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla essence
- 1 cup whipped cream
- strawberries/ passionfruit pulp/ kiwi fruit
Step 1: Beat egg whites until they stand in stiff peaks. Add sugar gradually, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating at high speed if using an electric mixer.
Step 2: When all the sugar has been thoroughly incorporated and a stiff glossy meringue has formed, fold in the vinegar and vanilla essence.
Step 3:
• Grease some aluminium foil and cover a baking sheet. Heap the Pavlova mixture on to the foil. Mould up the sides with a spatula and make a slight depression on top. OR
• Pile the mixture into a 20cm (8 inch) greased springform tin and lightly smooth the top. OR
• Pile the mixture into a greased 20 cm (8 inch) china flan dish.
If using a gas range turn the heat to the lowest temperature just before putting the Pavlova in to cook for 1 1/2 hours.
If using an electric oven cook the Pavlova at a low temperature (300 deg F / 150 deg C) for 45 minutes and then turn off heat and leave for 1 hour.
When cooked, remove from the oven and cool completely. Pile cream on to Pavlova and decorate with seasonal fruit.
