Healthy pavlovas
Serves 8 Desserts and puddings
Ingredients
- 185g coconut sugar
- 4 egg whites
- 1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
- finely grated zest 1 lemon
- 1tsp lemon juice
- 2tsp cornflour
- coconut yoghurt and seasonal fruit, to serve
Method
Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/ Gas 2. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
Place the sugar into a food processor and pulse several times so that it has a finer texture.
Use electric beaters to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add the sugar 1tbsp at a time, beating until dissolved between each addition. Beat until thick and glossy, then add the vanilla seeds, lemon zest, juice and cornflour. Beat briefly until combined.
Spread the mixture into 8 x 8cm circles on the baking trays. Bake for 1 hour or until crisp on the outside. Cool on the trays for 30 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve topped with coconut yoghurt and seasonal fruit.
