Pink rhubarb pavlova
Meringue is the ultimate show off pudding, but is so cheap and easy to make
Difficulty and servings
Serves 8
Preperation and cooking times
Ready in 2 hours plus cooling- Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. To make the meringue, whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks, then add the sugar a bit at a time, whisking until glossy and stiff. Whisk in the cornflour and vinegar.
- Use a dinner plate to trace a circle on a piece of baking paper then fill with the meringue and use a large palette knife to draw up the edges. Turn the oven down to 120C/fan 100C/gas 1/2. Cook for 1 1/2 hours and leave to cool completely.
- Cook the rhubarb and sugar in a large pan, with a splash of water, on a low heat until tender. Put the grenadine in the pan and reduce to a syrup. Cool and mix with the rhubarb.
- To serve, pile the cream on top of the pavlova, top with the rhubarb and a drizzle of syrup.
Making it look good
Shape it into a high-sided platform on which to pile up the cream and pink rhubarb and serve whole at the table for maximum effect.
