Best Raspberry Pavlovas And Cream Recipes

INDIVIDUAL FRESH RASPBERRY PAVLOVAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250F (an oven thermometer is a great tool to have in case your oven is not calibrated correctly) Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add the egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until foamy. With the mixer going, add the salt and vanilla beans and then slowly add the sugar. Let the mixer go on high until the whites are stiff and glossy, see photo in the blog, above.
• Fold in the lemon juice and cornstarch.
• Spoon the meringue into 4 equal circles on the baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon to make a concave dip in the center of each, where the whipped cream will go later. (You can make 8 smaller meringues if you like.)
• Bake the meringues for 90 minutes, and don't disturb while baking. Then turn the oven off and crack the oven door open, and leave them in the oven for another hour.
• To make the raspberry sauce put the berries in a saucepan with the sugar and the Amaretto or water and heat, stirring, until the raspberries break down and get soft.
• Use an immersion blender or a small food processor to puree the sauce. You can strain out the seeds if you like, pushing the sauce through a mesh sieve to get as much of the sauce through as possible, while leaving the seeds behind. I strained half the sauce so that I still had some seeds remaining. Set aside. Note: you can also leave the raspberry sauce chunky and skip the blending entirely.
• Whip the cream with the sugar until soft peaks form.
• Assemble the pavlovas just before serving ~ put a nice dollop of whipped cream in the center of each meringue. Drizzle generously with raspberry sauce, then top with a few whole berries and mint leaves. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.

RASPBERRY PAVLOVAS AND CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Process the thawed frozen raspberries with 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a food processor until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing on the solids with a rubber spatula; discard the solids.
• Beat the 1/4 cup raspberry puree with the egg whites, cream of tartar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment at high speed until foamy, about 2 minutes. At medium speed, gradually beat in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, then beat at high speed until stiff peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in 1 to 2 drops of food coloring, if using, to reach your desired color.
• Using a spoon, dollop 6 mounds of the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Using the back of the spoon, spread the mounds into 4-inch rounds. Bake the meringues until crisp but still chewy on the inside, 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the meringues cool completely, about 1 hour.
• In a clean and chilled bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a clean whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form; do not overbeat.
• To serve, spoon some of the reserved raspberry puree on the cooled meringues, then top each with the whipped cream, more raspberry puree and the fresh raspberries

CREAMY VANILLA-RASPBERRY PAVLOVA RECIPE

• Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in medium bowl with mixer on high speed 5 min. or until soft peaks form. Add granulated sugar, 1 Tbsp. at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.
• Spread into 10-inch circle on parchment-covered baking sheet, indenting center slightly. Bake 1-1/2 hours. Cool completely.
• Meanwhile, beat pudding mix and milk in medium bowl with whisk 2 min. Stir in COOL WHIP. Refrigerate 15 min.

RASPBERRY-CREAM PAVLOVAS

Steps:

• Make the Pavlovas: Put raspberries into a fine sieve set over a medium bowl. Let drain, reserving 2 1/2 tablespoons juice; set juice aside. Press raspberries through sieve into bowl (you should have 3 to 4 tablespoons puree); discard solids, and reserve puree for filling.
• Put egg whites, sugar, and salt into the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk until sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Atach bowl to mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add reserved raspberry juice. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper. Using a spoon or a rubber spatula, form meringue into six 3 1/4-inch rounds on prepared sheet. Use the back of a spoon to make an indentation in center of each round. Bake until centers are just set and edges are crisp, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack.
• Make the filling: Whisk egg yolks, 3 tablespoons reserved raspberry puree, and the sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk in butter and salt. Transfer to a small bowl; place plastic wrap directly on surface of curd to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate curd at least 1 hour (up to 1 day).
• Put cream into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Serve Pavlovas topped with raspberry curd and whipped cream.

RASPBERRY PAVLOVA WITH PEACHES AND CREAM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 250 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw a circle with a 9-inch diameter, then flip paper upside-down. You'll still be able to see the outline.
• Using a blender or food processor, blend the raspberries until you get a fine powder speckled with seeds. (The seeds won't break down so don't even try.) You should have about 1/3 cup. Set aside.
• Using the bowl from an electric mixer, whisk together egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar and salt. Fill a medium pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Set the mixing bowl with the egg white mixture into the pot, and whisk constantly by hand until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove bowl from heat, transfer bowl back to the mixer, and beat with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 to 8 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the raspberry powder until combined but still very streaky.
• Spoon mixture onto prepared parchment paper circle. Lightly drag a spatula along the outer edges of the mixture from bottom to top, to help build up the edges so there is a deep well in the center of the pavlova. Bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until dry and firm to the touch. Transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
• A half-hour before serving, prepare the topping: Stir together 1/2 cup water, sugar, vanilla bean and lemon zest in a small pot over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved and syrup is thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Put peaches in a bowl, stir in syrup and let cool.
• Whisk together cream, sour cream, confectioners' sugar and salt until firm peaks form, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Fill cooled pavlova with whipped cream; use a slotted spoon to top with peach mixture and raspberries, then drizzle with some of the syrup from bottom of the peach bowl. Serve at once.
