Pavlova recipe

Ingredients

• 6 large egg whites
• 300 g caster sugar
• 300 ml double cream
• Mixed fruits such as strawberries, raspberries and blueberries

Method

1. Heat the oven to 150°C (gas 2) and line a baking tray with non-stick baking parchment.
2. Whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl until they hold stiff peaks. Add the caster sugar gradually, whisking after each addition until the meringue is thick and glossy.
3. Shape the meringue on the lined tray and bake for about 1½ hours, until it releases easily from the paper.
4. Switch off the oven and leave the meringue inside to cool.
5. Whip the double cream until softly thickened. Spoon it over the cooled meringue, add the mixed fruit and serve.
