Simon uses aquafaba in place of egg for this classic Australian Christmas favourite. Enjoy the soft crunch on the outside, an airy melt-in-your-mouth centre, and an overflow of fresh, tart fruits to complement all the sweet!
You will need
Serves 4
- 1 tin chickpeas, aquafaba only
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 3/4 cup caster sugar
For the topping:
- 3/4 cup plant-based cream whipped to stiff peaks
- 2 passionfruits
- 1 punnet strawberries, sliced
- Bunch mint, chopped
- 1 punnet raspberries
Recipe: Simon Toohey
Directions
-
Step 1
Using a stand mixer, whisk the cream of tartar with the aquafaba until bubbles start to form. Very slowly rain in the sugar (roughly 1 tbsp at a time), making sure the sugar dissolves before adding the next amount of sugar. The mixture will start to fill up with bubbles and become light and fluffy. Whisk for 5 minutes until the mixture forms stiff peaks.

Step 2
On a baking tray lined with baking paper, spoon on small rustic piles of the meringue and make a well in the centre of each with the back of the ladle. (Alternatively, you can put all the meringue in a piping bag and use this to create neat little stacked rings of meringue for each mini cup!) Place baking tray in the oven at 100°C for 2 hours.
-
Step 3
Add the whipped cream in the middle of each pavlova cup, and top with passionfruit, raspberries, strawberries and mint.
