Clementine Curd Pavlova

Ingredients

  • 140g egg whites

  • 220g caster sugar

  • 5g cornflour

  • 5g white vinegar

  • 1tsp vanilla extract

blank

  • 150g Thursday Cottage Clementine Curd

  • 300ml whipping cream

  • 120g fresh clementine segments

  • 60g cranberries

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 120C/100C (fan)/gas mark 1/2.

  2. Draw a 25cm wide star on a sheet of baking paper. Turn it over and place it ink/pencil side down on your baking sheet.

  3. Whip the egg whites to soft peaks. Add the sugar a tablespoon at a time, whisking generously in between additions. Once all of the sugar has been incorporated, increase the speed and whisk for a further 5 minutes.

  4. Fold in the cornflour, vinegar, and vanilla. If they meringue looks loose at any point, whisk in an extra spoonful of sugar.

  5. Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted with a large, flat nozzle. Pipe stripes of meringue over the star template until well covered. If you don’t have a flat nozzle, just snip the end off the bag and pipe blobs of meringue until the star template is covered.

  6. Bake in the oven for 90 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave the meringue to cool in the oven with the door slightly a jar.

  7. When the meringue is completely cool, whip the cream and pipe over the top of the star.

  8. Pipe or drizzle the Thursday Cottage Clementine Curd over the cream. Top with the clementine slices and cranberries.

  9. Dust with icing sugar and keep refrigerated until serving.
