White Chocolate Pavlova Recipe

As I was saying in my post for chicken liver terrine, this week’s Freshly Blogged challenge had to be two dishes, both using cayenne pepper and cinnamon. We did not have to make a dessert but I chose to as given the ingredient limitations and the addition of vinegar to the pantry, I knew I could make something sweet. The inspiration for this week’s recipes came from James Martin. Better known as Sweet Baby James, his dessert recipes are extremely inspiring and always work. I have never used white chocolate before as there has not been a sugar free version in South Africa for a number of years now, and so I paged through his Desserts recipe book to see what I could make. My first thought was to make a white chocolate semifreddo but I then decided to make a pavlova as my meringues never fail me.

White Chocolate Pavlova

Ingredients:

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180°Celsius

Whisk the egg whites on a low speed until frothy

Whisk on medium speed until stiff peaks are formed

On a high speed add the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff and glossy

Fold in the corn flour and vinegar

Place most of the meringue onto a lined baking sheet in the shape of a circle

Pipe the edges and bake for 10 minutes

Reduce the heat and bake for a further 2 hours

Put 50mls milk into a saucepan and add the custard, sugar and cinnamon

Stir until dissolved and add the rest of the milk

Bring to the boil over a medium heat, stirring constantly until thick

Pour into a bowl, dust with caster sugar and set aside to cool

Layer the strawberries cut side up on a plate and sprinkle with the cayenne pepper

Once you have taken the pavlova out of the oven, melt the white chocolate over a bain-marie

Brush the chocolate into the middle of the pavlova

Loosen the custard with the cream and layer on top of the chocolate

Place the strawberries cut side down onto the custard and serve immediately
