Berry Christmas Pavlova, Gluten-Free Naturally

Naturally Gluten-Free Dessert
BERRY CHRISTMAS PAVLOVA


Serves 12-15

FOR THE PAVLOVA
6 large egg whites
1 3/4 cup Superfine Sugar
1 tsp White Wine Vinegar
1 tsp Corn Flour

FOR THE FILLING
1 1/4 cups Heavy Cream
1 tsp Vanilla
1/2 cup Confectioners’ Sugar, sifted
Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries
Pomegranate Seeds
Mint Leaves, to decorate
Confectioners’ Sugar, for dusting


DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 300
Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and draw a circle on the paper, slightly smaller than the serving plate. Draw a 2nd circle about 3 inches smaller inside.

Put six egg whites into a mixing bowl and whisk with an electric whisk until they look like clouds. Gradually add the sugar a little at a time, whisking on maximum speed until they are stiff and glossy. Mix the vinegar and corn flour in a cup until smooth, then stir into the bowl.

Spoon the meringue between the 2 circles on the baking parchment, to make a wreath shape. Using a large spoon make a trench in the meringue for the cream and fruit to sit in. Slide into the oven, then immediately reduce the temperature to 250 and bake for 1 hour – 1 hour 15 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the pavlova inside for an hour or overnight.

To assemble, whip the cream, vanilla & icing sugar until just stiff. Spoon the cream into the trench in the meringue. Arrange the strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and pomegranate on top and decorate with a few mint leaves, if using. To serve, dust with icing sugar and cut in wedges.

The pavlova can be made up to 1 month ahead and stored: wrap it in cling film and then foil and keep in a cool place.
