Pavlova

Mango and Passionfruit Pavlova was this weekend's dessert and very nice it was too.  I made the meringue base a day or so earlier, set the oven timer for one and a quarter hours, went outside in the lovely sunshine to start work in the garden, and promptly forgot about the meringue so it had an extra 40 minutes or so!  That meant I didn't get the marshmallowy centre but by the time I had loaded it with cream and fruit it didn't really matter - the end result was yummy.

Mango and Passionfruit Pavlova

Mango and passionfruit are a wonderful combination - a really good winter alternative to the usual strawberry or raspberry versions we have in summer.
