Ingredients

Pavlova

  • 300g egg white (at room temperature)
  • 500g caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornflour
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Rhubarb compote

  • 300g rhubarb
  • 150g sugar
  • 100ml grenadine syrup

Vanilla cream

  • Whip 200g of cream with 10g icing sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla essence.

Method

  1. Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl until the mixture gets glossy and firm.
  2. Place the mixture in a piping bag and pipe medium individual on a sheet of non-stick parchment paper.
  3. If doing one whole pavlova, place all the mixture onto a tray in a circular shape and with the back of the spoon, create a slight dip in the centre.
  4. Pre-heat oven 120 degrees, and place in the oven for 1 hour.
  5. Turn off the oven and let the pavlova cool inside.

Rhubarb compote

  • Chop rhubarb into small pieces.
  • Place in a saucepan with the caster sugar and grenadine and put on a low heat.
  • Cook out for 15-20 minutes slowly, so the rhubarb cooks evenly.
  • Set aside and cool completely.

Vanilla cream

  1. Whip until soft peaks, thick enough that it doesn't flow from a spoon.
  2. Place a spoon of cream on top of cooled down pavlova with soft poached rhubarb and cooking juices.
