Rainbow Sheet Pan Pavlova

A light and airy meringue base topped with a selection of fresh fruit and honey... YUM!!

Ingredients:

For the sheet pan pavlova:

270ml egg whites, at room temperature
tsp cream of tartar
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the topping:

250ml Whipping Cream
Blueberries, 100g
2 Kiwis, diced into cubes
Pineapple 125g, diced into cubes
Strawberries 125g, diced into cubes
Raspberries 100g
Clemengold segments, 125g
Organic Honey (Optional)

Method:

For the sheet pan pavlova:

1. Preheat the oven to 200C. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.

2. Place the egg whites and cream of tartar in a large mixing bowl and whip with a hand held mixer on low speed until foamy, 1-2 minutes.

3. Raise the speed to medium, and begin to add the sugar gradually, whipping to stiff peaks. With such a large amount of egg whites this may take longer than you think, 8-10 minutes. Do not overwhip the egg whites should look soft and smooth, not clumpy or dry.

4. Add the vanilla and mix to combine. Transfer the meringue to the prepared baking sheet, and spread in an even layer almost to the edges of the pan on all sides. Its ok to have peaks and valleys in the meringue this will give it good texture later.

5. Transfer the pan to the oven, and reduce the temperature to 110C. Bake until the meringue is firm and set, about 2 hours. Turn the oven off and leave the meringue to cool completely (and continue drying), another 3-4 hours.

For the topping:

1. Pop a bowl into the freezer 15 minutes ahead of time and make sure to start with cream straight from the fridge: the colder everything is, the easier and faster whipping will be.

2. Set the mixer to high and make sure to move the beaters around the bowl, occasionally switching direction. Lower speed and continue beating until soft peaks form.

3. Spread the whipped cream over the sheet pan pavlova. Top with an assortment of fresh fruit slices in stripes to create a rainbow effect.

4. Drizzle with honey before serving. ENJOY!
