Pavlova with Passionfruit or Kiwifruit

Pavlova has a crisp meringue exterior surrounding a soft, marshmallow-like centre, and is served with whipped cream and fruit. Australian cook Libby Hakim’s family version uses egg whites, fine sugar, salt, vanilla and white vinegar, without cornflour. The mixture is whipped until glossy, shaped into a round and baked, then left to cool gradually in the oven.[1]

Whipped cream is spread over the cooled meringue, with passionfruit pulp and sliced fruit on top. Hakim uses kiwifruit, strawberries, peach and banana as well as passionfruit, and recalls taking over her family’s Christmas pavlova. Her account describes pavlova on Australian and New Zealand tables without claiming a settled national birthplace.[1]
