MANGO PASSIONFRUIT PAVLOVA ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to a moderately slow 160 degree C (or 140 for fan forced).
• Grease a 25cm x 30cm Swiss roll pan.
• Cut a sheet of baking paper so that overhangs the baking pan at both ends and place the paper on the baking sheet.
• Beat the egg whites in a small bowl with electric mixer until soft peaks form.
• The bowl and beaters must be absolutely clean and free of any grease or egg yolk or this won't work.
• Gradually add the sugar, beating to dissolve between additions.
• Fold in the vanilla, vinegar and cornflour.
• Spread the mixture onto the prepared pan and sprinkle on the coconut.
• Bake on a lower shelf for about 20 minutes or until the meringue is lightly browned.
• Cover a wire rack with another sheet of baking paper.
• Invert the meringue carefully onto the paper, then remove the lining paper.
• Allow to cool, coconut side down.
• Whip the cream until soft peak stage.
• Spread onto the cooled meringue.
• Top with the passionfruit and mango slices.
• Roll the meringue firmly from the long side, using the baking paper to guide the meringue.
• Serve in slices.
• This may not stay completely neat but it is delicious!

PASSION FRUIT PAVLOVA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275˚ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a plate or cake pan as a guide, trace a 9-inch circle on the parchment with a pencil, then flip over the parchment on the baking sheet (the circle should still be visible); set aside.
• Make the meringue: Whisk the egg whites, 1/4 teaspoon vinegar and the salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 4 minutes. Gradually beat in the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dissolved. Increase the mixer speed to medium high and beat until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cornstarch, vanilla and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon vinegar and beat until just combined, 10 to 15 seconds.
• Spread the meringue into a 9-inch round on the prepared baking sheet (use the pencil marking as a guide) and make a shallow well in the center. Transfer to the oven and immediately reduce the oven temperature to 225˚. Bake until crisp and dry, about 2 1/2 hours. (The meringue should still be white or a very pale cream color.) Turn off the oven and open the door slightly (use the handle of a wooden spoon to prop it open about 1/2 inch). Let the meringue cool completely in the oven, about 1 1/2 hours. Carefully remove the meringue from the parchment and transfer to a platter.
• Make the whipped cream: Beat the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
• Just before serving, top the meringue: Gently stir the passion fruit pulp to loosen. Top the meringue with the whipped cream and passion fruit. Serve immediately.

MANGO & PASSION FRUIT PAVLOVA ROULADE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1. Line a 33cm x 23cm Swiss roll tin with baking parchment. For the meringue, mix together the cornflour, coffee and vinegar, and set aside. Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks, then gradually beat in the sugar, a spoonful at a time, until quite thick. Whisk in the coffee mix.
• Spoon the meringue onto the paper and gently spread, giving the top a few swirls. Scatter over the pistachios. Bake for 35-40 mins until it feels crisp.
• Meanwhile, make the filling. Slice the mango either side of the stone, peel, then finely chop the flesh. Beat the mascarpone, then stir in the mango. Whip the cream until thick and fold into the mango mix. Halve the passion fruit, scoop out the inside and set aside.
• When the meringue is cooked, leave in the tin for 10 mins, then lift out and put on a cooling rack, paper-side down. Dust a sheet of baking parchment with icing sugar and, when the meringue is cold, tip it on, paper side up. Peel off the lining paper and spread the cream over. Drizzle over the passion fruit and roll up using the paper as a guide. Open-freeze (see 'Try' below) on a board, wrap in foil and freeze for up to 1 month.
• To serve, unwrap and thaw in the fridge for about 1 hr. Sift with icing sugar and serve in slices.
