Nigella Lawson’s Passion Fruit Pavlova | Nigella Bites

[@dennishunt1590]

My dear old mum used to make pavlova quite often and always one for our hot Christmas days in Australia. One of the best ones mum ever made didn't have a tarty fruit topping: but mum marinated some raisins in Bundaberg rum and put them on top, rich and delicious. Mum cannot cook anything anymore, she will be 88 on the 13/1/2019. Mum is in a nursing home and suffering from altzhimers. She really was a wonderful cook.

[@sweettartz1985]

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. My grandmother had the same issues and it was so hard watching her not do the same things in the same way. By remembering her recipes and actively making her foods though you keep the memories.

[@sweettartz1985]

@@masterpeace7630 not all people can afford to take on a family member or if the disease or health issue is too much it's safer to keep them in a nursing home. Alzheimer's patients can even leave home without knowing where they're going. If you work you can't keep an eye on them safely and you sure can't lock them up. My grandmother was fortunate enough to go live with her youngest daughter.

[@t.t2301]

how to make the pavlova(summarised so u guys dont have to go to the website and read) -preheat ur oven at 180°C/350°F on the fourth(FIRST THING TO DO,VERY IMPORTANT) -beat six eggs until stiff peaks -if u have a stand mixer,u can slowly add(375g or 1 7/8 cups)of the sugar. For those who use hand mixers just stop in between to add in the sugar(ur eggs wont get affected if u stop for awhile) -after adding all the sugar continue mixing it a little more -then,add in ur (2 1/2 teaspoon) cornstarch,(i added 1 teaspoon)vanilla extract and (i also added 1 teaspoon) wine vinegar(u can use normal vinegar,i used white vinegar add it turned out great) -mix for a little bit until mostly combined -gently lay it out on a baking tray lined with baking paper(apply some of the meringue at the bottom of each corner of the sheet) -right after u place the meringue into the oven, lower down ur temperature to 150°C/300°F and bake for one hour -once done,let it cool if u want but leave it in the oven(TURNED OFF) with the oven door completely open -UR DONE,CONGRATS💞✨

The best pavlova, works each time !

[@aneeqawilson6126]

Hi All! Incase you are wondering about the length of time to leave it in the oven for before turning the heat off and letting it cook in the oven. It’s an hour. I am guessing. I currently have my pavlova in the oven and was frantically searching for answers ( no answer in the viewer comments below). I did some research and found her cappuccino pavlova recipe on her website that is quite similar this, in the sense of egg whites, temperature and procedure and that one takes 1 hour at 150C before turning off and leaving to cook completely in the oven. I hope this helps :) and I hope my pavlova is as fabulous as Nigella’s!

The minute you put in the oven reduce to 150, as it will take around 15 min. to reach that temperature.

@@Boooooooooooooop Actually, it's not in the 'Nigella Bites' cookbook and it's not on her website. However, other pavlova recipes use the same temperatures and have the pavlova in the oven for an hour, regardless of whether it's a four-egg-white or six-egg-white recipe.

Just whip the cream to make it thick and smooth, so it just won't pour, but can still be formed. It should be well aerated in the process, but short of becoming firm.

[@nadiasubri7426]

Nice & new. Yet I wish it was more decorative & looks less messy. Perhaps if you made a syrup out of the passion fruit, and then decorated on the top with passion slices, it would've been more appealing.

[@nielsenmakaba5777]

She doesn't do decorative plating...... she literally said "neatness is beyond me".....

[@nwjh1957]

I don't think you can slice a passionfruit. It's a hard outer casing filled with pulp. You don't want to eat the casing and you just sling the pulp where you feel it should go. One suggestion though: splot on the bulk of the whipped cream, but whip the rest until it's pretty thick, and pipe a fancy edge around the pav to contain the passionfruit. If you have tinned passionfruit pulp, it will already be in a sweetened syrup, and have lost some of the astringent tang of natural passionfruit.

uumm and the old Nigella would not mention filing nails in the kitchen, and 'live alittle' or would she?. I have saved your choco pav recipe.

Still, grateful for your thoughts on how you make a pav.
