Ingredients
Meringue
4 egg whites
250g caster sugar
Topping
500g of different berries, strawberries, raspberries & blackberries
4 tbsp icing sugar
1 shot of amaretto
300-350ml double cream
Directions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 150C OR 300 F. Using a pencil, mark out the circumference of a dinner plate on baking parchment. Whisk the egg whites with a hand mixer or kitchen aid until they form stiff peaks, then whisk in the sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, until the meringue looks glossy.
Step 2 : Spread the meringue inside the circle, creating a crater by making the sides a little higher than the middle. Bake for 1 hr, then turn off the heat and let the Pavlova cool completely inside the oven.
Step 3 : When the meringue is cool, chop the strawberries. Whip the cream with the remaining icing sugar and amaretto, and spread it over the meringue.
Step 4 : Layer the cake, with meringue, then cream, berries and repeat. Enjoy with cup or tea or coffee!
