Mini Pavlovas
Servings: 6 pavlovas
Calories: 248kcal
Ingredients
For the pavlovas:
- 4 large egg whites , room temperature
- ½ teaspoon (1.6 g) cream of tartar
- 1 cup (200 g) caster sugar
For serving:
- 1 cup (240 mL) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (16 g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 mL) pure vanilla extract
- Fresh berries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Add the egg whites and cream of tartar to a large bowl. Use an electric mixer with a whisk attachment to beat the egg whites on medium-low speed until soft peaks form.
- Once the egg whites can hold a soft peak, slowly add the caster sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, continuing to mix the whole time, until all the sugar is added. When the meringue is ready, it should be very thick.
- Divide the meringue into 6-8 mounds on the prepared pan, leaving some space between each mound, as they will spread when they bake. (Bake on two baking sheets, if needed.) Form each mound into a round nest with an indentation in the center.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave the meringues in the oven for 3 hours to dry out and cool slowly. Remove from the oven, cool to room temperature, and store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
- Before serving, make the whipped cream by beating together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- To serve, fill each mini pavlova with whipped cream and top with fresh berries.
Notes
Meringue can be weather sensitive. For best results, prepare these in a low-humidity environment on a dry day.
