Ingredients
Meringue Ingredients
- 4 egg whites (room temperature)
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch
Filling Ingredients
- 1 container Tnuva Premium Cheese Spread (Original Flavor)
- 8 ounces heavy cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Mango Syrup Ingredients
- 10 ounces frozen mango cubes
- 1 tablespoon sugar (for syrup)
- 2 heaping tablespoons cornstarch (for syrup, dissolved in ½ cup water)
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Suggested Toppings
Fresh fruit such as blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, nectarines, grapes, mint leaves, and coconut shavings add a colorful touch to your pavlova.
Instructions
Preparing the Meringue
Start by preheating your oven to 250°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt and vinegar until they form stiff peaks. Gradually add sugar while continuing to beat until the mixture is glossy and firm.
Baking the Meringue
Next, place the meringue in a piping bag with a wide tip. Pipe small circles onto the parchment to form a large 8-inch circle, creating a crown shape, and use a spoon to make an indentation in the center of each circle. Bake for about 2 hours, then turn off the oven and let it cool completely.
Making the Mango Syrup
Meanwhile, combine the mango syrup ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring until thickened. Blend the mixture with an immersion blender and let it cool.
Assembling the Pavlova
Once the meringue is cooled, whip the filling ingredients until soft peaks form. Spoon this creamy mixture over the cooled pavlova, covering the surface beautifully. Drizzle with the mango syrup and add your choice of fresh fruit toppings for a stunning finish.
