Coffee Pavlova

Pavlova is a meringue-based dessert from the antipodes. Traditionally served topped with whipped cream and tangy fruits, such as kiwi fruit, passion fruit, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries.
Coffee pavlova adds a subtle twist to this classic dessert.  Ideally served with a glass of chilled white wine and enjoyed with friends throughout those long summer evenings. This dessert is gluten free provided you use gluten free cornstarch.

You will need:

9 medium egg whites
3 cups of castor sugar
6 tablespoons of cold water
3 tablespoons cornstarch (cornflour in the antipodes)
1 tablespoon of white vinegar
1 tablespoon of vanilla
1 tablespoon of espresso or 2 tsp of dissolved instant coffee

mixer, bowl and spatula
cup, tablespoon and teaspoon
oven tray, aluminium foil or baking paper

whipped cream and fruit for topping (this time we're using peaches and cherries)
