1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Make the Meringue

In a clean bowl, beat 6 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add 1.5 cups (300g) of white sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat. The meringue should be glossy and smooth.

3

Form the Pavlova Base

Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a round disc with slightly raised edges. Smooth the top with a spatula, creating a well in the center for the filling.

4

Bake the Meringue

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. After an hour, turn off the oven but leave the pavlova inside with the door slightly ajar. Allow it to cool completely in the oven for about 2 hours.

5

Prepare the Passionfruit Cream

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (480ml) of heavy cream, 1/2 cup (120g) of powdered sugar, and 1/4 cup (60ml) of passionfruit pulp. Whip the mixture until it thickens and forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.

6

Assemble the Pavlova

Gently transfer the cooled pavlova onto a serving platter. Fill the well in the center with the prepared passionfruit cream, spreading it evenly. You can also top it with additional fresh fruit or a sprinkle of toasted coconut, if desired.

7
