Pavlova

This is much yummier than Son of a Bitch Stew …. 😀 This recipe comes compliments of my sister-in-law, Chrissie, who is Australian. The dessert is named in honor of Anna Pavlova, the famous ballerina. My boys choose this dessert in place of cake and ice cream for their birthday.

Pavlova

4 egg whites
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
Fresh fruit
Sweetened whipped cream

Whip up egg whites until stiff, add sugar (continue beating), vinegar and vanilla. Beat until very stiff. Add cornstarch and stir in.

Mound onto a piece of foil or baking parchment which is buttered and sprinkled with cornstarch. Spread into a large circle, 1 to 2 inches thick.

Bake at 250 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours. Cool. Top with whipped cream, berries, kiwi, bananas, or other fruit as desired, arranged in a decorative pattern. My boys like strawberries and bananas while the Aussie cousins prefer kiwi and passion fruit. Yum! 😀
