Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Line a Swiss roll tin, (about 23cm x 30cm) with baking paper. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff. Slowly add the sugar, still whisking, until stiff and glossy. Spoon the mixture evenly onto the baking tray and bake for 15 minutes, until crisp on the outside. Remove and cool completely.
  2. Lay a piece of fresh greaseproof paper out and flip the meringue over onto it, carefully pull away the used paper and discard. Spread the lemon curd over it and then the passion fruit seeds. Whip the cream with the passion fruit juice and spread on top of the lemon curd. Sprinkle over the strawberries. Roll the meringue up lengthways using the paper to help turn it over. Put on a serving tray and dust with icing sugar.

    I make this all the time and vary the filling. Normally make it with fresh raspberries and passionfruit and leave out the lemon curd. Also I mix the cream half and half with 0% fat greek yoghurt to give a bit of tang - less calories too. When I make it with lemon curd, I use passionfruit only (no other berries). It never fails to impress and is so easy to make. You can make the meringue the day before and fill just an hour or so before serving.

    it turned out awesome and was really looking forward to it but my meringue tasted eggy-i checked that the eggs were in date and did cook it for 15mins. Any suggestion where i went wrong to make it next time?

    I made this for the first time on the weekend to test it out before making it again this weekend for friends. It was absolutely fantastic! The meringue was a little thin so I think I will make it using 6 eggs as others have suggested this weekend.

    Excellant although I must admit I did not use the recomended filling. I whipped the cream with blended and then sieved strawberries and icing sugar and then placed the cut strawberries on top and rolled it up. A big hit with my man and his work colleagues.

    Please feel free to point out what I might have done wrong, but in all my years of baking, this is the single most disgusting desert I have ever baked! If you like soft, eggy, undercooked 'meringue' then this is for you, otherwise, don't bother! Bleugh!

    This was incredibly fun to make and easy too! I used 6 eggs and 300g caster sugar, as suggested. However, I thought the lemon curd really didn't work with the rest of the ingredients (perhaps its just the fact I hate lemon curd!). I'd leave it out and add more fruit instead, such as raspberries or redcurrants.:)

    Made this many times. Looks impressive but so easy. My husband usually likes chocolate desserts but this is one of his favourites.

    Great recipe but need to find a use for the egg yolks! Such a waste throwing 6 away. I did not have any passion fruit so made it without. Everyone went for seconds!

    Everyone is right - this is SO EASY and looks so clever!! Made a lovely light dessert to follow a roast dinner. Used 6 egg whites but it was huge so blobbed a spoonful on a separate piece of paper which was a good trial taste! bit worried when it first came out of oven as it was huge but it did sink down to a perfect size. Re previous comment we had scrambled eggs with extra yolks for lunch - yummy too!

    Didn't have Swiss roll tray so used baking tray and upped the amount of eggs and sugar so meringue would fill tray. Easy, yummy, used raspberries. Made me look SO clever!

    Well...where do I start?! Meringue came out pretty good- bit thin though and could have given it an extra 5, but it was the cream that really challenged me - pretty much ended up making passionfruit butter! It curdled good and proper with the passionfruit juice (my energetic whipping probably didn't help!). And things got bad to worse when my mum started getting involved (who coincidentally is on a diet) and made me pretty much double the filling ingredients so when it came to rolling the damn thing I could pretty much only fold it in half like a big taco shell! Thanks Mum!Its now chilling - lets hope the fridge can work some magic on it!

    I made this for Australia Day. First batch of pavlova failed due to a tiny bit if egg yolk and beating in a plastic bowl. 2nd batch I used 6 eggs and hand beaters in a glass bowl then continued to beat in the 250g of sugar and cooked it for 20 mins at 160 degrees based on other user advice above and the result was perfect. :-) A delicious and impressive dessert served with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.
