Creme Fraiche Filling For Pavlova With Vanilla Poached Oranges Recipes

ORANGE-BERRY PAVLOVA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Draw a 9-inch circle on a large sheet of parchment paper. Place parchment on a large baking sheet with the circle facing down and centered in the pan.
• Beat together egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt on high speed with an electric mixer in a bowl until soft peaks form. Add in sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, beating continuously, until stiff, glossy peaks form. Mix in vanilla and almond extracts. Sift cornstarch over the egg mixture and gently fold in until just combined.
• Pour egg mixture into the center of the circle on the parchment paper on the prepared pan. Starting from the center and moving outwards, gently form the meringue into a round no larger than the drawn circle. Create an impression in the center of the meringue so the edges are slightly taller than the middle.
• Place into the preheated oven and bake until the pavlova feels firm and dry to the touch, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Turn the oven off without removing pavlova. Leave in the oven to cool for at least 1 hour.
• Pour heavy whipping cream into a large bowl. Beat at medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add orange zest and vanilla extract; beat until combined.
• Gently remove pavlova base from the parchment paper and place onto a serving tray. Top with whipped cream, oranges slices, and mixed berries. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix together buttermilk and heavy cream. Let sit at room temperature for six to eight hours.

• Spread meringue into a 10-inch round (2 inches high) on prepared sheet. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 200 degrees; bake until firm, 40 to 50 minutes. Turn off oven; let pavlova dry in oven overnight.

TROPICAL PAVLOVA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1. To make the meringue, separate the egg whites into a clean bowl (save the yolks for another time) and add the sugar. Beat with an electric whisk for 8-10 mins, or until stiff and glossy. Combine the vanilla, vinegar and cornflour in a separate bowl until smooth, then fold into the eggs along with the coconut.
• Place a piece of parchment paper or silicone paper over a baking sheet. Spoon the meringue mix onto the sheet and smooth out to form a circle about 20-25cm wide, swirling with a knife to make peaks around the edges. Cook for 1 hr until the meringue is crisp and lightly browned, then turn off the oven and leave to cool. Gently peel away the paper. Can be made up to two days ahead and carefully stored in an airtight container.
• To serve, whip the cream, crème fraîche, sugar and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form, then spread over the centre of the meringue. Top with the fruit and serve.

GRANDMA PERRITT'S PAVLOVA WITH CUSTARD CREAM

Steps:

• Heat your oven - as hot as it will go while you prepare the pav mix.
• Place baking paper on a pizza tray and set aside.
• In a large clean bowl (metal or glass) beat the egg whites on high until thick and "soft peak stage" (when you lift the beaters up, the egg whites resemble whipped cream).
• Turn the beaters down to low, add the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. Once all in, return to high and beat for 7-10 minutes until the sugar is dissolved (check by rubbing a small amount of mix inbetween your thumb and finger - there should be no grit).
• Turn the beaters to low and add the flour and vinegar, mix well.
• Use a metal spoon to scrape out the mix onto the lined tray.
• I aim for a 10 inch circle, it will be a mound.
• Place in a hot oven and turn down to 130oC straight away. Bake for 1 hour. Turn the oven off and leave for another hour. Open the door and leave for another hour. The pav needs to be cold when it leaves the oven (this makes the outside crunchy and the inside soft marshmellowy).
• Dress just before serving.
• Custard cream:.
• In a bowl (medium) beat the egg yolks, flour, sugar and vanilla.
• In a saucepan gently heat the cream and milk over a low heat.
• Pour the yolk mix in and whisk constantly until thick and almost to boiling point.
• Set aside and cool for 5 mintues, then pour into a clean bowl.
• Place cling wrap over the top (to catch the skin so you can discard it).
• Serve on the side (cold) to a dressed pavlova.

STRAWBERRY KIWI PAVLOVA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275°F
• Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form, adding sugar 1TB at a time. Beat in vanilla.
• On foil or parchment lined baking sheet, spread meringue into a 10" circle, pushing up edges to form a well in the middle. Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until firm to the touch. Turn off oven & leave meringue inside to dry.
• Remove meringue to a serving platter.
• While cream is whipping, combine marshmallow creme & creme fraiche. Fold in whipped cream. Spread this mixture over the cooled meringue.
• Decoratively arrange the sliced kiwi & strawberries. Drizzle nutella over top & sprinkle with dried cranberries.
