What do u do when ur hb brings home two big plastic bags full of fresh fruits? well thats what he did.. he bought a big punnet of strawberries, a pack of raspberries, a pack of blueberries, passionfruit and also mangoes..
Last Monday was free time for me.. i knew i would be busy fm yesterday onwards and thought maybe i shud just sit down and relax.. after not doing anything for 2 hrs i felt really tired.. ? ya know.. i am not used to just sitting around.. even when Lisa is cleaning my place i would be busy cleaning my kitchen.. so what did i do? i went online looking for new recipes.. decided to log on my FB and post something like "what to bake" on my wall. Bef i knew it there were a few ppl (including my cheeky hb) that commented and Pavlova was one of the choice.. hb has been asking me to bake him his mom's cookies and also Pavlova.. hes super particular on how the texture of Pavlova shud be .. its no longer abt how u whisk ur egg whites and sugar.. its abt the colour and also the texture of the pavlova.. it has to be melt in ur mouth.. humppp fussy guy!
Anyway long story short.. i decided to whip it up for him.. baked it for an hr and the moment he got home.. i prepared the passionfruit sauce... after we had our dinner.. all four of us sat in front of our Pavlovas and ate like theres no tmrw.. the sourness fm the fresh fruits... the sweetness fm the meringue.. the creaminess fm the double cream and also the sweet and sour of the thick passionfruit sauce gives this dessert a number one ranking in our family... hb loves it.. hairi loves it.. i love it and sonia.. err well.. she was too busy licking the cream off her spoon that bef she knew it.. the whole thing was gone lol
The Pavlova recipe is fm Donna Hay .. i decided to double the recipe and got two big and 8 small Pavlovas.. u can keep ur meringue in an airtight container for 5 days.. maybe more.. no harm done.. the next time u hv guest or u feel like having dessert.. all u need to do is to slice ur fresh fruits and whip ur double cream.. easy peasy!
So ok.. i will let u guys feast ur eyes on this wonderful Pavlova.. whip it today ok ( statement is especially to Ninaz, Uswani, Linad n Zaharah hahaha) cos really.. it doesnt take alot of effort ... err well except .. the temp of ur oven has to be lowered bef u bake it and do leave it in ur oven for an hr bef u take it out.. :o) The secret to a good Pavlova is a moist and creamy centre.. it is not a full meringue which is all crunchy...so says the husband...hehe..
Ingredients for the passion fruit sauce
150 gm passion fruit flesh
50 gm granulated sugar
20 gm water
2 gm cornflour
To make the Passion Fruit Sauce, in a small saucepan, place the passion fruit flesh, water, sugar and cornflour, well mixed. Cook over a low heat until the sugar dissolved. Bring the sauce to the boil, stirring occasionally, then cover the pan and remove from the heat. Let cool and chill for 1-2 hours until cold.
Ingredients
150ml eggwhite (approximately 4 eggs)
1 cup (220g) caster (superfine) sugar
2 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch), sifted
2 tsp white vinegar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (if u wish to hv a white Pavlova .. omit vanilla ok)
1 cup (250ml) single (pouring) cream
1/2 cup passionfruit pulp (approximately 4 passionfruit)
250g strawberries, hulled and halved
(I used strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and mangoes)
Method
Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F). Place the eggwhite in the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, whisking well, until the mixture is stiff and glossy.
Add the cornflour and vinegar and whisk until just combined. Shape the mixture into an 18cm round on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Reduce oven to 120°C (250°F) and bake for 1 hour 20 minutes. Turn the oven off and allow the pavlova to cool completely in the oven. Whisk the cream until soft peaks form. Spread over the Pavlova, top with passionfruit and strawberries and serve immediately. Serves 8–10.
OR
Line a baking sheet with non-stick baking paper. Use a 6cm diameter cake ring to outline 18 circles and turn the baking paper over (so the meringue does not touch the pencil marks. Spoon the egg white mixture into a piping bag fitted with No. 9 nozzle. Pipe 18 swirls following the outlines on the marked paper. Pipe flowers along edges of swirls on to each meringue..
Ok i hv to go.. i hv to pipe fillings on all my 200 oadd macs and also bake one more layer cake for a customer bef sending it off to Goodwood Park Hotel.. hv a fun day everyone!
Note:
* You’ll know when the meringue is stiff and glossy because the mixture will have tripled in volume and stands up when the beaters are lifted.
* The low heat puffs up the meringue while the long cooking time dries it out to give you a lovely crisp shell.
* Store your pavlova, undressed, in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Oh my...!! what a brilliant idea! The flower shape pavlova is very pretty. Thanks for sharing Kak Rima...
Pavlova... I likeee!!!!
Nak!!!! Blum breakfast lagik nie.. :)
Thanks Rima for giving me the push... Dah brp kali nak buat, tak bergerak2... but looking at your pics (as usual) certainly instill 'ketidaksabaran' in me...
I need to do it sebab nak rasa, kalau tak dpt tgk gmbr je, lainlah kalau ddk sebelah rumah, boleh gak tapau2...
Wahhhh.... drooling... the combination must be very interesting. And u r so rajin to pipe the pavlova that way.
Rima
"swashhhyslurp" *sambil menjilat bibirku yg sememeh dengan pavlova (tak aciiii, mencii..).
The answer to your 1st para. is "gimme to meeee" :-)
The pavlova done looks like a Lotus blooming, lovely! I bet must be delicious with those fruits topping.
Kak Rima!!!!waduh..cantiknya!!!mata asyik tgk kat buah2 tuh jer..and the meringue..cantik2..banyak juga dapat satu adunan tuh..I think to try half of the recipe but first kena beli telur dulu..semalam dah habiskan buat choc cake..ahaks
salam rima - ur povlova really look awesome...ur husband said is very true rima...it should be that way "moist and creamy centre.. it is not a full meringue which is all crunchy"

hi Rima can u enlighten me whether Vanilla EXTRACT does contain ALCOHOL coz the other time I wanted to buy vanilla EXTRACT from Sun Lik but the shop owner said muslim cannot use that coz it contain alcohol. i use vanilla essence instead. Cheers!
salam kenal rima,
d pic is awesome and brilliant. bukan setakat tergoda tengok pavlova....fruits tu pun nampak very tempting arrrrgh....cantik sangat
Kay
Yes its true what Mrs wong said.. use vanilla essence to replace vanilla extract yah.. i usually will get my vanilla essence fm her cos its the best! :o)
liemaopurut
salam kenal and Ty ty.. if dah tergoda apa kata pi beli all the freshfruits .. boleh buat pavlova this weekend hehe
Fazlinil
I used top and bottom fire.. 100C instead of 120C.. my oven cepat panas tu yg i hv to use 100C to bake..
i think ur friend pakai api bawah she wants her meringue to look white?? all u need to do is to omit vanilla essence.. sure ur pavlova jadi putih melepak hehe
Linad
adehhh dont named it after my name.. i tak create pun all that recipe.. i cuma baked and then share recipe and my thoughts on it.. blushing hehe
If u hv the time.. bake this ok.. simple ajer and the result is satisfactory... gd luck!
thanks kak rima..!! :)

Oh ya, enjoy ur hols in Beijing ok!
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah so pweetty!!!
no doubt. u r a great baker. <3
dulu2 akak chef ke?
at first i tot the pavlova was a cover of a cook book..scrolled down.. and it was your pic.. babe i think u should start writting your own cook book and put all these wonderful pics. seriously.. you should.. i'll be your first cook book reader..luvv syahzelen
salam k.rima. i've been reading your blog for few months now. When i saw your entry on pavlova, it make me want to try it as the 'flower' cup idea is so nice... but too bad, my meringue is too runny and i can't have the petal to stand. I don't know if i have either over beat or under beat my mix. i've had the soft peak when i beat the eggs, but when i addedup the sugar and continue beatng, it become too soft and 'liquidy'. Pls advice the estimated time to beat the meringue to have it stiff.
Thanks...
Intan
Make sure ur bowl tu bersih sebersihnye.. suci gitu hahah.. u add ur egg white.. u whip sampai u see bubbly.. not until it turns soft peak.. then u add ur sugar bit by bit.. usually ard 3 to 4 addition with ur whisk still running lah.. then u cepat kan the speed to the max.. pukul sampai dia stiff peak.. lepas tu mati kan mixer and masuk kan dalam pipping bag.. sure boleh pipe.. tak runny pon.. cannot help u with the timing cos i myself tak timing.. tengok pada the texture of my meringue..
salam k.rima,
thanks for the advice and i will make sure my bowl is suci.. hehehehe... and thanks for the tips too... will try it again later :)
salam sis rima .. been reading about Pavlola since bef .. cme acroos ur entry abt pavlola and it was soo soooo sooooooo .. err how shud i describe it eh ? sayang nak makan sebab cantik giless .. curlass gitus .. by the way .. manis sangat ke yee ? coz most of the recipes said that pavlola terlalu manis . if yes .. boleh ke kurangkan gula tu ? risau kalau kurangkan gula meringue tak jadi :)
K.rima, ive baked pavlova twice. But it still not perfect. Can u give me some tips to prevent the meringue cracks?
Dzah
ur oven heat is strong maybe? did u leave ur pavlova in ur oven till sejuk bef u keluar kan?
kak rima thanks! now I know why my pavlova always turn out a lil bit brownish! I wonder if we omit vanilla, does it effect the meringue? I meant, tak smelly ke, hanyir something like that.. coz of putih telur kan..
Sama ajer Nina... i dont really mind the slightly brown colour to my pavlova... prefer to add vanilla op
Hi kak Rima.. salam perkenalan... today Nani cuba buat pavlova shells. Alhamdulillah jadi...cuba saya punya shells mcm gigi jaws kak... ha4. Thank you for the recepi yea.
