| Yield:
4 Servings
Ingredients:
Fruit Coulis:
- ½ cup strawberry jam
- juice of 1 lemon
Pavlova:
- 2 Tablespoons wattleseed extract
- 10 ounces whipping cream
- 7 egg whites
- 1 ¼ cups castor sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon corn flour
- ½ cup crumbed breakfast cereal or biscuit crumbs
Method:
For the Fruit Coulis:
Combine the strawberry jam and the lemon juice until well
combined.
For the Pavlova:
Preheat oven to 300º F. Line a tray with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the wattleseed extract
to the cream and whip until stiff peaks are formed; refrigerate.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until soft
peaks are formed and fold the sugar and lemon juice into the
mixture. Spread this mixture over the parchment paper in a
rectangular shape to a depth of approximately 1 inch. Bake
for 10 to 15 minutes or until firm. Remove and slide off tray
but keep the cake on the parchment paper. Sprinkle the top
with cereal crumbs evenly coating the surface. Flip the cake
over, seasoned side down, onto a clean towel and carefully
remove the baking paper. Spread the wattleseed cream evenly
over the cake to a thickness of ½ inch.
To Assemble and Serve:
Roll the pavlova using the long edge of the towel. Lift the
pavlova in the towel to a plate and carefully roll the cake
off the towel. Cut the ends on an angle and spoon fruit coulis
around the cake.
