\ud83d\udc51 Festive Pavlova Wreath (Meringue with Berries)
\ud83d\udcdd Ingredients
Quantity Ingredient Usage
4 pcs Egg Whites Room temperature.
250 g Granulated Sugar (very fine grain)
1 tsp. Food Starch (corn) This is the secret to the crispy outside, soft inside texture.
1 tsp. White wine vinegar or lemon juice Stabilizes the foam.
5 dl Cream (30-35% fat content) Cold, whipped to a stiff peak.
Decoration Berries Pomegranate seeds, raspberries, blueberries, red currants.
Decoration Mini-meringues Meringue balls painted white, red or green (optional).
\ud83d\udd2a Preparation (The Meringue Wreath)
Preparation: Draw a circle of approx. 25-30 cm in diameter (ring inside and outside) on a piece of baking paper. Preheat the oven to a very low temperature (approx. 110 \u00b0C).
Whipping the foam: Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
Adding the sugar: Slowly add the sugar, little by little, and continue beating until the foam is completely stiff, shiny and the sugar grains have completely dissolved.
Stabilization: Gently swirl in the vinegar\/lemon juice and cornstarch with a wooden spoon.
Shaping: Fill the mousse into a piping bag (preferably with a star nozzle). Pipe the mousse along the outline into a wreath shape. Leave a hollow in the middle for the cream.
Drying (The Secret): Pop it into the oven. Dry (bake) at a very low temperature for 60-90 minutes. The meringues should be white and crispy on the edges but soft on the inside.
Cooling: Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool inside (so they don\u2019t collapse or crack).
\ud83c\udf52 Filling and Decoration (The \u201cBerries\u201d)
Whipped Cream: Whip the cold cream with a little vanilla sugar until stiff.
Filling: Just before serving (so that the cream doesn\u2019t soak the meringue), spoon or press the whipped cream into the hollow of the wreath.
Decoration: Sprinkle generously with fresh, festive berries (pomegranate seeds, raspberries, currants). You can scatter \u201cmeringue berries\u201d (tiny, colorful mini-meringues) between the berries or along the edge of the meringue base for an even more whimsical look!
The red-white-green colors (berries, cream, mint or mini-meringues) create the perfect Christmas atmosphere!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
