The Aussie dessert that gets everyone talking | Mango & Coconut Pavlova | Marion's Kitchen

[@maidagrujic8489]

Our family loves pavlova and I have been making them for over 50 years. We love the crunch on the outside and marshmallow inside. I have always turned my pavlovas upside down before decorating so as to preserve as much of the crunch as possible. So the cream goes on top of the marshmallow and the outside is all crunchy. It’s also easier to serve as it’s not “ stuck “ on the plate. Putting the cream on top of the crunchy part softens a large area of what you have tried to create by drying it in the oven. Happy eating !

[@bwinkle2915]

Is 1/2 cup caster sugar the correct amount? Only cos most of the recipes I’ve read 1 cup of caster sugar per 4-6 eggs seems to be standard? Has anyone yet made this,

[@greenwoodreid3796]

@@bwinkle2915 Yes i made it exactly as written in the recipe. It was a total fail for me unfortunately & the sugar content is very small for a pavlova.

[@greenwoodreid3796]

@maidagrujic Could you kindly share your recipe here in this comment? I would love to make your version ☺️

[@bwinkle2915]

@@greenwoodreid3796 I tried a different recipe at Xmas and failed😞 but more sugar than this. I think the old woman’s weekly one could be the go.

[@maidagrujic8489]

@@greenwoodreid3796 Hello I have already listed my ingredients. The method is similar to most methods in that you start beating the egg whites with a pinch of cream of tartar on a fairly low speed until they get to that soft stage when you start adding the sugar. Don’t add sugar too early. You add the sugar gradually a desert spoon at a time and aim to have all of the sugar in at around 10 minutes so as not to over beat. Keep speed low. Turn off. Lift up and use a silicon spatula to make sure that all the sugar is off the edges of the bowl. Beat another two minutes to dissolve all the sugar. When you take a little bit of the mixture it shouldn’t be grainy. Then slowly add the vanilla cornflour and vinegar. You can use the beaters at very slow speed or the spatula. I use aluminium foil on an upside down baking dish, but any baking dish is fine. Now for the last 45 years I’ve had an ordinary oven. And I would cook my Pavlova on fan forced whereby I initially have it on at 200 C and as soon as I put the Pavlova in I turn down the temperature to 140 C. Cook 1-11/4 hr for 4 egg….. 11/2 approx for 6 egg. When done I let it cool in the oven with door slightly ajar. After I remove from oven I turn it upside down, peel off the foil and it should have a little crust there but much more crust around the edges. You see my family is used to a Pavlova with a thicker crust and about 6 cm of marshmallow inside. We love the meringue. Most of the Pavlova’s you buy or see elsewhere has very little meringue and it’s mainly marshmallow. That’s not what we like. My entire family follows my original recipe with success. I now have a Miele top of the range oven and to be honest I haven’t worked out exactly what to do because it cooks very differently. I have one in the oven right now and I cooked on conventional, without fan, at 125 C with crisper on. I’m letting it cool slowly. The one I cooked the other day was excellent , text book case in every respect except that it didn’t have a thick enough crust for our liking. That’s why I am now trying different methods. I do apologise for such a long reply but this whole Pavlova thing has made me want to achieve what we used to do but in my new oven. I’m sending you this now just in case you want to make it for New Year’s Eve. I will let you know how my current Pavlova turned out when I take it out probably tomorrow. Once again I wish you success and I do apologise for such a lengthy reply but I didn’t want to just ignore your request. Best wishes and happy New Year. Maida

Sure need to try that recipe. My fiancé is aussie. So I need to learn it ;-) A nice use for the yolks is the Creme Grand Marnier. (I also make this when making mousse au chocolat. There it's a fantastic compliment dessert.) You soak 4 sheets of gelatine in cold water. Whip 5 yolks with 80g of sugar. Carefully warm up 5cl of Grand Marnier, squeeze the water from the gelatine and dissolve it in the liquor. Let it cool down and mix it into the yolk/sugar mix. Whip up 300ml of heavy whipping cream and fold that in. Put it in your fridge until solidified. Btw: Cointreau works just as well. Greetings from the far noth of Germany!

[@saiman6838]

That sounds delicious. I love cointreau so will try it with that.

[@annamcarthur3409]

I love a good pav. But I ALWAYS flip it over before I top it. Why would I go to all that trouble to create a delicious crust only to cover it with cream. Flip it, and top it on the soft, newly exposed under side and you will be in heaven. My mother and grand mother taught me this method and I was always amazed to find that not many others made a pav this way. Try it, you wont be disappointed. Merry Christmas to you and your family Marion. I'm looking forward to receiving your new cookbook for Christmas.

[@ralucastan6640]

What do you mean by flip it? Upside down?

[@kathrynwilliams669]

New Zealand has Pavlova too. There is a rivalry with our Aussie neighbours as to who created it. But it is a classic Christmas Day and summer desert on both sides of the Tasman Sea. We just keep it simple and call it cream in NZ

[@AnnaBrownandTaiaha]

Hehe as soon as I saw the title I started hunting through the comments for my fellow Kiwis :)

It's been proven to have an NZ origin.

[@hlahappy]

Heavy cream or whipping cream in here in US. That looks delicious 🤤

[@peabody1976]

US: heavy whipping cream UK: double cream Aus: thickened cream And even then, UK double cream has slightly more milkfat (48%) than US heavy cream (40%), so it's much thicker naturally. I just read though that thickened cream in Australia has at least 35% milkfat, so it's like in between our (US) light cream and heavy cream. :)

[@djawa2032]

France " crème fraîche "

[@Moonlightrealgirl]

I found thickened cream has gelatin in it

[@sebastiento9695]

They're all pretty different and saw them sold in New Zealand 🤔

[@radsmatazz]

Try making this with mango and passion fruit. Its amazing!!!

[@maidagrujic8489]

4 egg whites to 1 cup caster sugar is definitely the ratio. So if you use 6 egg whites you need 11/2 cups of caster sugar. At the end take a tiny bit of mixture between your fingers to make sure it’s not grainy.

[@bonniewylie3287]

Hi Marion, you are my favourite KZbinr of all time! I cook your recipes almost every night of the week. I tried this recipe & the meringue was a flop, it went brown & was very squishy. I think the ratio of egg white to caster sugar is wrong. I tried another meringue recipe & the ratio was 2:1 sugar to egg white, which worked perfectly. Thank you for the amazing recipes, sending much love from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

2 extra tips- 1- after you’ve drawn the circle, you can turn the paper over so you don’t have to worry about getting the “lead” pencil on your food. And 2- use a tiny smear of the pavlova mixture on the paper to “stick” the corners to the pan and stop it sliding around when you go to shape your pavlova on the paper lined sheet pan.👍🏻

Pavlovas are not a quick dessert to make, but they are easy and I often make them a day or two ahead. Especially for Christmas Day, when I run out of steam on Christmas Eve (the sass from the young adult children when a promised pav just cannot be created 🥴)! Just needs to be kept in an airtight container and it will be just fine.

Do you store it in the fridge or at room temperature in an airtight container?

@@tammypillay7622 I would only ever store it at room temperature if making ahead. The only time I would put a pav in the fridge is if it was already filled with cream, because the cream needs refrigeration.

Hi Marion, love the recipe. Just one question: does the vinegar and the corn starch do the same job as cream of tartar?

[@Rinaldigotama]

i think the vinegar does do the same thing as cream of tartar, and corn starch gives it slight body. i don't have cream of tartar so whenever a recipe calls for it i sub it with vinegar.

[@cinemaipswich4636]

A lot of "Thickened Cream" actually has geletin or vegetable gum to artificially thicken it. If you beat it, it will loose its texture and reduce down to a liquid. Always use 100% whole cream. Check the label to ensure you get what you need. It is the vinegar that gives the gooey marshmallow texture. Without it, it will all be hard and solid.
