Description
A super festive dessert: low FODMAP mini pavlovas with red fruits and cream. Only a handful of ingredients, but so tasty! Gluten-free and lactose-free.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 egg whites (about 100 g)
- 150 g (3/4 cup) fine white sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tsp corn starch
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar
- 250 g (1 cup) lactose-free whipping cream + 2 tbsp sugar
- Low FODMAP red fruits of your choice (I used strawberries and raspberries)
- 2 passion fruits
- Icing sugar
- Optional: chocolate Christmas decorations
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 100 degrees Celsius (212 F).
- Make sure your bowl and the whisk of your mixer are grease-free.
- Whip the egg whites stiff with the mixer.
- Add the sugar little by little, while you keep mixing. Add the salt as well.
- Mix until the egg whites are shiny and they stand up in stiff peaks.
- Mix the corn starch and vinegar together in a small bowl. Mix this through the egg whites.
- Cover a baking sheet with baking paper.
- Scoop the egg whites into a piping bag and cut off a corner of the piping bag (or use a round piping nozzle).
- Pipe 4 circles with the meringue of about 10-12 (4-4.7 inch) cm on the baking parchment. Fill them in and pipe 2-3 more layers of the merinque on the outsides of the circle. Like this you get little buckets that you can fill later.
- Put the pavlovas into the oven and bake them for 1.5 – 2 hours. For me they needed 1 hour and 45 minutes. The inside of the pavlovas should still be a bit soft, but the outside will be hard and crunchy.
- Turn the oven off and leave the pavlovas to cool down inside the oven for another hour. Then let them cool down outside of the oven.
- Whip the cream until stiff with 2 tbsp of sugar.
- Divide the cream over the pavlovas.
- Divide the fruit over the pavlovas and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Add some chocolate decorations if you like.
- Important: put the cream and fruit onto the pavlovas right before you serve them. If you do this too far in advance the pavlovas will get all soft and melt away.
