Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 eggs, separated
- 1 1/4 cups (315 milliliters) caster sugar
Base Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whip egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until they form soft, billowy mounds with gentle peaks.
- Gradually incorporate sugar while continuously whisking, creating a lustrous, stable meringue with stiff, elegant peaks.
- Delicately integrate cornflour, vinegar, and vanilla essence, folding gently to maintain the meringue’s delicate structure.
- Transfer the silky mixture into a parchment-lined slow cooker, ensuring an even, smooth surface.
- Place a clean tea towel beneath the lid to absorb condensation and prevent moisture dripping onto the dessert.
- Slow cook on low temperature (approximately 200°F) for 90-100 minutes, maintaining a gentle, even heat.
- Turn off the slow cooker and allow the pavlova to cool completely inside with the lid slightly ajar, preventing rapid temperature changes.
- Once thoroughly cooled and set, carefully remove the pavlova from the slow cooker.
- Crown the meringue with billowy whipped cream and an artistic arrangement of fresh, vibrant seasonal fruits.
- Serve immediately to preserve the pavlova’s delicate crisp exterior and marshmallow-like interior.
Notes
- Egg White Technique: Ensure absolutely no yolk traces when separating eggs, as fat prevents proper white whipping.
- Sugar Incorporation: Add sugar gradually and continuously beat to achieve silky, stable meringue texture with zero graininess.
- Moisture Management: Using tea towel under lid prevents condensation dripping onto pavlova surface, maintaining crisp exterior.
- Low Temperature Control: Slow cooker provides consistent gentle heat, preventing cracking and creating perfect marshmallow-like interior.
