Instructions

Step 1

Step 1: This time we offer you a recipe for a light Pavlova meringue dessert with passion fruit. Add some raspberry jelly, and get an unusual taste! The calculation is for 8 desserts with a diameter of 10 cm (3.9 inches).

Step 2

Step 2: Mix the egg whites with the sugar and heat in a water bath to 60°C (140°F), stirring constantly. Immediately whip the mass at a high mixer speed; form the clouds at random, and dry them in the oven at 90°C (194°F) for 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the size. Tip: Make sure no water gets into the egg white mixture to ensure proper whipping.

Step 3

Step 3: Bring the passion fruit puree to a boil. Melt the sugar and water in a saucepan, and bring to a caramel state. Add the butter, and remove the mixture from the heat. Pour the passion fruit puree into the caramel, stirring constantly. Place the mixture back on a medium heat, and boil for 1 minute until the caramel dissolves completely in the puree. Pour the caramel into a mixer bowl, and start whipping. Gradually add the cream cheese, and whip until firm. If the crème is too thick, then add a little cream with 33% fat content. Tip: Gradually add the cream cheese to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth texture.

Step 4

Step 4: Bring the raspberry puree to a boil, and add the soaked gelatin. Pour the mixture into molds, and freeze. Tip: Use silicone molds for easy removal of the jelly once frozen.

Step 5

Step 5: Place the crème on the bottom of each meringue cloud, and then the frozen raspberry jelly in the center; cover it with some more crème. Bon Appetit! Tip: Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Variations

**Gluten-Free Tips:** 🥳 Good news—this recipe is naturally gluten-free! Make sure you use certified gluten-free ingredients, especially when it comes to cream cheese.

**Vegan Variation:** 🌱 Swap out the egg whites with aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) to create vegan meringue. Instead of cream cheese, opt for a vegan cream cheese alternative or a whipped coconut cream. Use agar-agar instead of gelatin for the raspberry jelly. These simple changes allow everyone to enjoy this light and fruity dessert!

Faq

What if my meringue isn’t stiffening?
Ensure the bowl and whisk are completely clean and free of grease. Also, make sure you've reached the proper temperature when heating the egg whites and sugar.
How can I prevent my meringue from cracking?
Dry the meringue at a lower temperature and avoid opening the oven door during baking. After baking, let the meringue cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar.
Can I make this dessert in advance?
Absolutely! The meringue can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container. Assemble just before serving for best texture and flavor.
How do I prevent my crème from being too thick?
If your caramel crème is too thick, add a small amount of cream with 33% fat content, while mixing, until you achieve the desired consistency.
What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Store any assembled pavlovas in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 days. Note that the meringue may soften slightly over time.
How can I enhance the flavor of the meringue?
Consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a hint of lemon zest to your meringue mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
