Ingredients
Scale
For the Pavlova
4 egg whites (room temperature)
280 g of castor sugar (fine sugar)
1/2 tsp of cream of tartar
For Filling
500g full cream Stored in fridge the day before.
Fresh (or tin)yellow cling peaches and some green grapes. Cut in thin slices, grapes halved.
Tin peaches would be softer.
Instructions
Preheat oven to a medium heat. 0f 80 Deg. C to 100 Deg. C (200Deg F)
Line two baking sheets with grease proof paper or non stick sheets.
In a clean dry bowl pour the egg whites, cream of tartar and start whisking them on a low speed until foamy. Once foamy increase the speed to medium, until the beaten egg whites form a stiff peak.
Only then do you add castor sugar one tablespoon at a time whisking between additions until all is combined and you have a stiff glossy mix.
Fill a piping bag with the egg whites and use a basket weave/star nozzle.(what you prefer)
Start by piping a blob and then start on the outside and pipe in one action the pavlova twirls.
Repeat until you have piped your pavlova basket, base and side.
Place the pavlova in the oven and bake for 1 hour and 45 min.
Do not open the door, also once they have baked switch of the oven and leave the door closed for at least 1 hour. Or preferably leave over night until cool to prevent them from cracking. Before removing.
Once removed from the oven and well cooled, then you can fill them just before serving.
Obtain the 500 g of full cream (that was stored the day before in the fridge)
The cream is to be whisked with a mixer until it forms peaks.
Fill the pavlova with cream in the middle and place the sliced peaches in the middle on top of the cream, then add the odd cut grapes for color and taste.
