Very Berry Mini Pavlovas courtesy of IMUSA (Serves 4)
Ingredients:
- 3 large egg whites
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 6 tablespoons of sugar (for meringues)
- ½ cup Welch’s Grape Jam (gluten-free)
- 2 cups fresh mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1 ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup sugar (for cream)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 4 mint leaves for garnish
Directions:
- Heat oven to 300F and line baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in small bowl at high speed until foamy (1-2 minutes). Continue beating, gradually adding sugar, until glossy and stiff peaks form (2-4 minutes).
- Spoon 8 (3-inch) meringue circles onto parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Build up the sides of each meringue to form a bowl shape on each circle. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until meringues are golden.
- Turn oven off. Leave meringues in oven for at least 1 hour and up to 4. Remove from oven. Cool completely.
- Meanwhile, whip heavy cream on high for 3-4 minutes until creamy but not overly stiff. Add sugar and vanilla extract and beat for an additional minute. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- In a small bowl, combine berries and jam and stir until fully incorporated taking care not to break apart the berries.
- To serve, top each meringue shell with ¼ of the whipped cream. Layer ¼ of the berry mixture atop the whipped cream. Garnish with mint leaf if desires. Serve immediately.
Buen Provecho!
