Pavlova/Meringue


 
4 egg whites
1 cup castor sugar
300ml cream, whipped
Fruit, e.g. strawberries, kiwifruit, bananas, mango, passion-fruit

In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites on high speed, until soft peaks form (about 1min). Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating until sugar dissolves and foam is stiff, thick and glossy (about 10mins). Spoon mixture onto lined tray to form a 20cm round. Bake in 120C for 1-1.5hrs or until it feels dry and crisp. Turn oven off and leave to cool in oven with door ajar (about 1hr). Top with whipped cream and fruit.
