Pavlova Topped with English Toffee
Ingredients
  • For the Pavlova:
  • 6 egg whites
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch

  • For the whipped cream:
  • 1½-cup whipped cream
  • ½cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

  • Topping:
  • Sur La Table English Toffee Bark


Procedure


Make the Pavlova: Preheat the oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Trace an 8-inch circle on the parchment paper - we will use this as a guide.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed, whisk the egg whites and salt until medium-stiff peaks.

Add sugar slowly on low speed. Once incorporated increase speed to medium-high and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.

Fold in the cornstarch and vanilla.

Transfer mixture into the circle traced on the baking sheet and start shaping your pavlova using an angled spatula.

Bake for 30 minutes on 300°F, then lower temperature to 275°F and bake for another 45 minutes.

Allow the meringue to cool in the oven for another hour. Do not open the door or it will crack more.

Make the whipped cream: In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on high speed, add in the heavy cream and whisk until soft peaks form. Slowly add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until combined. Next, add the vanilla extract and whip until stiff peaks form.

Assemble the Pavlova: Once the Pavlova has cooled, add whipped cream on top. Chop some English toffee and place on top. For an extra holiday vibe, add sugar cranberries and rosemary.
