A meringue recipe used for Pavlova desserts

About this recipe

Here's a recipe that you can use if you are going to bake a pavlova cake

Simply put, this meringue is a French meringue with extra ingredients to dry it out really well and withstand the cream and fruit confit/jam. I am also showing you how to prepare the meringue before adding the rest of the Pavlova ingredients (coating with chocolate)

    Steps

    1. The Pavlova Meringue is a French Meringue to which we add Lemon and Cornstarch : this helps to dry out the meringue

    2.  Pour the Egg Whites (4 Tablespoons or 60 g) into a mixing bowl and wait 30 minutes (they will whip nuch better if they are at room temperature)

    3. Start whipping: You may use either a stand mixer (like a Kitchen Aid appliance) or an electric beater

    4. Start on moderate speed (egg whites will hold better): With the stand mixer, I use the Speed #4 (1-10)

    5. After 4 minutes, pour the first Sugar (1 Tablespoon or 20 g)

    6. Increase the speed: With the stand mixer, I use the Speed #6 (1-10)

    7. After 3 minutes, pour the 2nd Sugar (1 Tablespoon or 20 g)

    8. Increase the speed: With the stand mixer, I use the Speed #8 (1-10)

    9. After 2 minutes, add in the Lemon Juice (1 teaspoon or 4 g)

    10. Over the bowl, sift the Corn Starch (2 teaspoons or 7 g)

    11. Increase the speed and keep whipping for 1 minute. With the stand mixer, I use the Maximum Speed #10 (1-10)

    14. Transfer to a Pastry Bag with a Plain Pastry Tip, 0.78" (or 25/32" or 2 cm) in diameter

    Baking

    15. You may shape the meringue the way you want. I am going to shape my meringue in a circular shape, with "little balls"

    16.  One trick to make a nice regular shape is to "dip" a pastry ring into icing sugar and transfer onto the silicone mat or the parchment paper

    17. That way, you have a pattern that will help you pipe a perfect shape

    19.  Bake in preheated oven at 220 °F / 100 °C for 3 hours or more

    20. Then turn off the oven and let the meringue dry out a few hours

    21.  The meringue must be completely dried and at room temperature

    Chocolate Coating

    22. Additionally, I recommend to melt white chocolate and coat the meringue : the fat from the chocolate will prevent the meringue to turn soggy when we add the jam confit and the cream
