A towering, cloud-like pavlova with a crisp shell and marshmallow center, generously topped with soft vanilla cream, tangy berry coulis, and fresh strawberries—an impressive showstopper perfect for celebrations.

Ingredients

  • Pavlova:
  • 8 egg whites
  • 2 cups caster sugar (400g)
  • 2 tsp cornflour
  • 2 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • Cream Topping:
  • 750 ml cream
  • 3 Tbsp icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 × 250g punnet strawberries, chopped
  • Berry Coulis:
  • 500g frozen berries
  • 80g white sugar
  • 1/4 lemon (juice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 120°C fan bake and line a baking tray with paper.
  2. Whisk egg whites until stiff, then add caster sugar gradually (1 Tbsp at a time), beating until very stiff and glossy.
  3. Fold in cornflour, vinegar, and vanilla essence.
  4. Spread into a large rectangle on the tray. Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and allow the pavlova to cool completely inside.
  5. For the coulis, simmer frozen berries, sugar, and lemon juice over low heat for 20 minutes. Adjust sweetness and refrigerate to cool.
  6. Whip cream with icing sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  7. Assemble by topping the cooled pavlova with whipped cream, drizzling berry coulis, and scattering chopped strawberries.
  8. Serve on a large board or tray due to its size.

Notes

  • Add mixed berries such as raspberries, blueberries, or boysenberries for more color.
  • Fold lemon zest into the cream for brightness.
  • Swap vanilla for almond essence for a flavor twist.
  • Create a mixed-fruit version with kiwi, mango, or passionfruit.
  • Assemble just before serving to maintain crisp texture.
