Spiced Plum Pavlovas
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
-
Gradually add the sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, cinnamon, and ginger, and continue to beat until the mixture is glossy and holds its shape.
-
Spoon the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming six individual pavlova nests.
-
Bake for 90 minutes, then turn off the oven and let the pavlovas cool completely in the oven.
-
Meanwhile, cut the plums into quarters and remove the pits.
-
In a small saucepan, combine the plums, honey, and a pinch of cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until the plums are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
-
Remove the pavlovas from the oven and top each nest with a dollop of whipped cream and some of the spiced plum compote.
-
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.
