Pavlova

I can't remember. I think maybe we had made Leche Frita (cannot believe I have no photos of this!!) and hung out with our friend who has worlds largest passionfruit vine but anyway we ended up with many egg whites and passionfruit. this led to the natural conclusion of pavlovas. I used the same recipe that I use for a bit one, which is to say:

4 Egg whites
1 1/2 cups caster sugar
1TBLS corn flour
1tsp white vinegar
1-2 tsp vanilla essence- depending on how much you love vanilla

It's the usual from here, beat the egg whites til stiff, gradually add the sugar (at max speed) then when thats all in quickly add the corn flour, vinegar and vanilla. People say you need to dissolve the sugar but at this point if you have some granules it is so not going to matter.

So usually I make a big one but it was only the two of us so I went individual and kept some plain meringue for eating later.

Anyway, so we had some fresh peaches from an orchard near where I grew up and some bananas and of course copious amounts of passionfruit. We skipped the cream but the meringue was creamy enough. The results are below.
