Ingredients
- 300 ml coconut yoghurt
- Powdered green tea, to dust
- Mixed green and yellow fruit (mango, green kiwifruit, golden kiwifruit, green grapes, pineapple, yellow peach), to serve
- 170 g passionfruit pulp (tinned or fresh)
For the pavlova base
- 6 egg whites
- 450 g icing sugar mixture
- 1 tsp cornflour
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- A pinch of salt
Resting time: 2 hours
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 110˚C. Combine the ingredients for the pavlova base in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment fitted, then beat on high speed for 5-8 minutes or until a glossy, stiff meringue forms.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper. When the meringue is ready, spoon it onto the baking paper into a 20 cm circle shape (if you keep adding meringue to the centre and pushing it down it will form an attractive natural edge to the pavlova).
- Bake the pavlova for 90 minutes, then turn off the oven, wedging the door open very slightly with a wooden spoon and allowing the pavlova to cool in the oven for 2 hours. Remove the pavlova base from the oven and allow to cool completely on the kitchen bench before using.
- When ready to serve, spoon the coconut yoghurt over the pavlova base and dust with green tea powder. Top with mixed yellow and green fruit, passionfruit pulp and serve.
