Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 300 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 6 medium Plums
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Icing sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a large rectangular baking tray with parchment paper.
In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites using an electric mixer until they form stiff peaks.
Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whisk until the mixture becomes thick and glossy.
Gently fold in the cornstarch, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until just combined.
Spread the meringue mixture onto the prepared tray, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.
Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C (320°F) and bake for 20 minutes or until the meringue is lightly golden and firm to touch.
Once baked, carefully invert the meringue onto another sheet of parchment paper that has been dusted with icing sugar. Allow it to cool completely.
While the meringue cools, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator.
To prepare the toffee plums, halve and pit the plums. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter, brown sugar, honey, and lemon juice.
Cook the mixture until the sugar has dissolved and turns into a caramel-like sauce, then add the plum halves, cut side down. Cook for 5–7 minutes, turning halfway, until the plums are soft and caramelized. Set aside to cool slightly.
Once the meringue is cool, spread the whipped cream evenly across the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting from one short side, carefully roll up the meringue into a tight roulade using the parchment paper to help guide it.
Transfer the roulade to a serving platter and dust with icing sugar. Serve slices of the roulade alongside the warm toffee plums.
Enjoy your Pavlova Roulade with Toffee Plums!
