Homemade Blackberry Curd Pavlova (from scratch)

Ingredients

Meringue:

  • 4 large egg whites
  • 225g (1 cup) sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornflour
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

Toppings:

  • 250-500ml (1-2 cups) whipping cream (use as much or as little as you like)
  • fresh blackberries (or any other fruit)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 140ºC (285ºF). Line a large baking tray with baking paper and draw a circle of around 22cm (I used a large plate).
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until they form stiff peaks. Gradually add the sugar, followed by the corn-flour and white wine vinegar.
  • Pour the mixture onto your prepared tray smoothing the meringue so there is an even thickness. Carefully push the middle out towards the edges so you are left with a crater effect with the sides higher than the middle (it doesn't need to be too deep but if it is too shallow, the curd will overflow when added later).
  • Bake for one hour then turn off the oven leaving the meringue inside until it is completely cold. I left mine in overnight and I recommend doing that if you have the time.
  • When ready to serve, fill with the blackberry curd and top with whipped cream and any other garnish you like (I used a couple of fresh blackberries and flowers). Cut into slices and serve! Enjoy!

Notes

I used my homemade blackberry curd for this recipe. However, you can use any kind of curd you like.
