Blueberry Pavlova

Ingredients

Meringue:

• 4 egg whites
• 2.5 dl sugar
• 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Organic Blueberry Powder
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Filling:

• 1 dl heavy cream
• 250 g mascarpone
• 75 g white chocolate
• 2 tablespoons Organic Blueberry Powder

Garnish:

• White Chocolate Blueberries
• Organic Blueberry Powder

Guide

1. Start by preheating your oven to a gentle 125°C. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually add the sugar, one spoonful at a time, while continuing to whip. When your mixture looks glossy and forms stiff peaks, it's ready to roll.
2. Gently fold in the distilled white vinegar, Organic Blueberry Powder and cornstarch. The blueberry powder adds a delightful burst of fruity flavour and a dreamy, natural violet hue to your meringue.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop out ten dollops of your meringue mixture. Using a spoon, shape each dollop into a well, leaving a little crater in the center. These will cradle your luscious filling. Pop them in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours until they're crisp on the outside but still tender inside. Once done, let them cool.
4. While your pavlova bases cool down, let's prepare the filling. Melt your white chocolate in a microwave-safe dish, using 20-second bursts and stirring in between. It should be smooth and creamy.
5. In a separate bowl, whip up the heavy cream until it's softly billowy. Fold in the mascarpone, melted white chocolate and Organic Blueberry Powder. The result is a berry-kissed filling that you'll want to eat by the spoonful. Keep it cool until you're ready to assemble.
6. Just before serving, spoon or pipe the creamy filling into those lovely meringue nests you created. Top each pavlova with White Chocolate Blueberries, and give them a dusting of extra Organic Blueberry Powder for that irresistible finish.
7. Now, it's time to gather your friends and family, or simply yourself, for a delightful pavlova experience. The crispy-chewy meringue, the creamy blueberry filling, and the sweet surprises of white chocolate and dried blueberries make this a dessert worth savouring slowly. Enjoy!
