Pavlova with Chocolate Cream & Berries

This stunning and light dessert made from a crisp meringue shell topped with whipped cream and fruit comes from down under. And it is no surprise that a dessert this spectacular has not one, but two origin stories, both with the same protagonist, Anna Pavlova a popular Russian dancer at the time.

As New Zealanders tell it, a chef at a Wellington Hotel created the billowy dessert in 1926 and named it in her honor, claiming inspiration from her tutu. 

Australians, on the other hand, believe the pavlova was invented at a hotel in Perth in 1935, and named after the ballerina when one diner declared it to be “light as Pavlova.”

Whatever the truth this is a dessert that everyone should try to make at least once. 

Recipe: Medium | Prep Time: 50 minutes | Cook Time: 1 Hour 40 Minutes | Cooling Time: 2 Hours | Serves: 8 
Recipe was made for Smart Oven Air Fryer and Air Fryer Pro from Breville.

INGREDIENTS:

For the Pavlova.

• 8 large eggs
• at room temperature
• 2 cups (14 oz) superfine sugar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp distilled white vinegar
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

For the Chocolate Cream.

• 10 fl oz heavy cream
• 7 oz dark or milk chocolate, chopped

For the Strawberry Sauce.

• 9 oz strawberries, hulled, chopped
• 3 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp water

For Serving.

• 5 oz blueberries
• 9 oz blackberries

DIRECTIONS:

 1. Draw a 9 ½-inch circle on a 12-inch piece of parchment paper or use a precut 12-inch parchment round. Lightly grease the pizza pan then place the parchment paper, marked side down on the pan.

2. Insert the wire rack into the bottom shelf position. Preheat the oven. Select BAKE/NO CONVECTION/200°F/1 hour 40 minutes and press start.

3. To make the pavlova, put the egg whites in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Whisk on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, beating constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is thick and glossy. Gently fold in the cornstarch, vinegar and vanilla bean paste.

4. Use a large metal spoon to spoon the mixture onto the prepared tray. Use an offset spatula to shape into a round, using the circle as a guide. Smooth the side.

5. Once preheated, put the pavlova in the oven and bake for 1 hour and 40 minutes until the pavlova feels crisp and dry. Once the timer sounds, turn the oven off and allow the pavlova to cool in the oven with the door closed for 2 hours.

6. Wash and dry the mixer bowl and whisk attachment.

7. To make the strawberry sauce, put the strawberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Spoon the mixture into a fine sieve set over a bowl. Strain the mixture, discarding the solids. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

8. To make the chocolate cream, heat the cream into a small saucepan over low heat until hot, but do not boil. Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and pour over the hot cream. Allow to stand for 1 minute then stir until smooth. Set aside to cool.

9. Spoon the chocolate mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Whisk on low speed until just thickened.

10. Transfer the pavlova to a serving platter. Spoon the chocolate cream over the top of the pavlova. Top with fresh berries and spoon over the strawberry sauce. Serve.

Recipe: Medium | Prep Time: 40 minutes | Fridge time: 90 minutes | Cook Time: 80 Minutes (12 minutes per batch) | Serves: 8
This recipe was made for the Smart Oven Air Fryer and Air Fryer Pro from Breville.

INGREDIENTS:

For the Pastry.

• 1⅓ cups (7 oz) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
• ⅓ cup (2 oz) superfine sugar
• ¼ tsp flaky sea salt
• 3½ oz unsalted butter, chilled, chopped
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten

For the Custard Filling.

• 1 lemon, juiced
• 3 cups (24 fl oz) water
• 4½ oz 5-6 small pink lady apples
• ⅓ cup (1½ oz) vanilla custard powder
• ½ cup (3½ oz) superfine sugar
• 2½ cups (20 fl oz) heavy cream
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• ¼ cup (¾ oz) sliced almonds

To Serve.

• Powdered Sugar 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Grease the bottom and side of a 9-inch springform cake pan.

2. To make the pastry, put the flour, sugar, salt and butter in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add the egg and pulse until the pastry just comes together.

3. Turn the pastry out onto a lightly floured countertop and knead gently until smooth. Flatten to form a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm enough to roll.

4. Roll the pastry between two sheets of parchment paper into an 11 ½-inch round. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and transfer the pastry to the prepared pan. Use your fingertips to gently press the pastry into the pan without stretching. Trim the pastry edge so it is level. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

5. Insert the wire rack into the bottom shelf position. Preheat the oven. Select BAKE/CONVECTION/325°F/20 minutes and press start.

6. Line the pastry with a piece of parchment paper, making sure it completely covers the bottom and side of the pastry. Half fill with pie weights, beans, or raw rice. Put the cake pan on the pizza pan.

7. Once preheated, put the tart in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and pie weights and continue baking for 10 minutes until the pastry is light golden all over. Remove the tart from the oven and set aside to cool.

8. To make the filling, combine the lemon juice and water in a large bowl.

9. Partially core the apples with an apple corer or melon baller starting from the bottom. Do not go all the way through to ensure the top is left intact. Put the apples in the lemon water to prevent discoloring.

10. Combine the custard powder, sugar and 1 cup (8 fl oz) of the cream in a bowl. Whisk until smooth. Pour into a medium saucepan. Add the remaining cream and vanilla. Cook, stirring constantly over medium heat until the custard just comes to a boil.

11. Preheat the oven. Select BAKE/ CONVECTION/325°F/60 minutes and press start.

12. Pour the hot custard in the tart shell. Press the apples into the custard, cored side down and sprinkle with the sliced almonds.

13. Once the oven has preheated, put the tart in the oven and bake for 60 minutes until the apples are just tender and the almonds golden.

14. Put the tart on a wire rack and let cool completely.

15. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.

DIRECTIONS:

1. To make the cookies, put the flour and powdered sugar in a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Combine the egg yolks, water, and vanilla. Pour over the flour mixture and process until the dough comes together to form a ball. Transfer to a lightly floured countertop.

2. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a ½-inch thick disk. Wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate for 1 hour, until firm.

3. Roll one portion of the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until ¼ inch thick. Using a 3-inch (top to tip measurement) heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out 6 cookies, re-rolling and cutting more cookies until you have 10. Put the cookies on a parchment paper lined tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm, this helps the cookies keep their shape during baking. Repeat with the remaining dough.

4. Insert the wire rack into the center shelf position. Preheat the oven. Select BAKE/325°F/CONVECTION/12 minutes and press start.

5. Line the pizza pan with parchment paper. Place 6 cookies evenly spaced on the pan, not too close to the edge.

6. Once preheated, put the cookies in the oven and bake for 12 minutes until light golden around the edges.

7. Remove the cookies from the oven and cool on the tray for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough to bake 20 cookies.

9. To make the royal icing, put the egg white and lemon juice in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Whisk on low speed for 20 seconds. Increase the speed to medium, and gradually add the powdered sugar, whisking until thick and smooth. Add a few drops of food coloring until desired color is reached.

10. To make the colored fondant, dust the counter lightly with powdered sugar. Knead the fondant on the lightly dusted counter until smooth. Cut in half and color one half pink and one half red, kneading until smooth. Roll the fondant out to ¼-inch. Cut heart shapes from the fondant using 1-½ inch and 2-inch heart shaped cookie cutters.

11. To decorate, pipe or spread the royal icing onto some of the cookies, decorate with sprinkles as desired. Alternatively, top the cookies with fondant. Brush lightly with water and decorate with sprinkles.

12. Allow the icing to set completely before storing, layered with parchment paper, in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
