Ingredients
Method
1.Preheat oven to 150°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
2.Place egg-whites in a clean dry bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat until soft peaks form.
3.Gradually add sugar, a tablespoon at a time, beating until the sugar dissolves and the foam is thick. Beat in lemon juice and vanilla.
4.Spoon mixture onto prepared tray to form 4 evenly sized nests.
5.Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 120°C, and bake another 20 minutes. Turn off heat and leave pavlovas to cool in the oven with the door ajar. This will dry them out completely.
6.To serve, top with cream and fruit, then drizzle with passionfruit.
Egg-yolks can be refrigerated or frozen – use them for mayonnaise and custards or to enrich sauces. To stop the oven door from slamming shut when you’re cooling the pavlovas, use a wooden spoon to prop the door open.
