Step 1

Get your egg whites into a separate bowl and ensure there's no shells or yolk in it. My Mum always says you need your mixing bowl perfectly clean, so wash with warm water and dry well. Add your egg whites to the mixing bowl and loosely whisk for a few minutes to break them up.

Everybody loved this recipe I made it with a vanilla bean mascarpone whipped cream!

It went really well together , the cream tasted like white chocolate and the inside was fluffy and tasted like marshmellows :)

That sounds like a winning combination to me 🤤 The inside of the pavlova is so light and airy, it's one of my favourite recipes from my Mum ❤️

Jonny, is it chewy in the inside, or is it crisp right the way through? Xxx

It's crisp on the out side, with an airy, bubbly centre 🤤 It's very light, almost like a foamy sponge in a way? I'm describing this so badly, apologies 😅

Is it a bit like roulade? Coz I'm veggie. I'm a bit funny about eggs, I eat meringues, but need them to be the kind you'd use in Eton Mess, like hard and crispy all the way through, is this like that? (Otherwise it'll give me the gawgs)🤢🤣 Cheers Jonny xxx

The outer shell is definitely crisp but not the inside Máirín, it might not be the one for you then 😅

Have made this recipe a few times now and it’s a winner! Perfect crispy on the outside and light & yummy on the inside! I used fresh mango & lychee with a strawberry purée for our Christmas pav.. :)
