Autumn Pavlova with Cinnamon

Autumn Pavlova with Cinnamon

A twist on traditional pavlova, the addition of cinnamon is a cool way to incorporate a fall flavour profile to this decadent, yet surprisingly light dessert. Top it with our Apple and Pear Compote for a little extra seasonal flair.

INGREDIENTS

4 Egg Whites, room temperature

1 Cup of Sugar

3 tsp Cinnamon

1 tsp Cornstarch

1 tsp White-wine Vinegar

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
2. Using a standup or hand-held mixer, whisk the egg whites until starting to stiffen. Then gradually add the sugar while continuing to mix.
3. Then, one at a time, add the cornstarch, vinegar, vanilla and cinnamon.
4. Using a spoon and spatula, create 6 individual ‘nests’ of the whipped meringue on a baking sheet. Using the spoon, create a little dip in the middle (for the fruit and whipped cream to sit in).
5. As you put it in the oven turn the temperature down to 250. Bake for 1 hour. Then, if time allows, open the oven door to cool to prevent cracking.
6. Serve with a fruit compote or a mix of fresh berries and whipped cream.
