Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup superfine granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons high-quality matcha powder
- 4 ounces good quality white chocolate, melted
- 1 cup heavy cream, cold
- 1 cup fresh berries (assorted)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a clean bowl, whip egg whites until foamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until glossy stiff peaks form (about 5-7 minutes).
- Gently fold in the sifted matcha powder.
- Spoon or pipe the meringue into a circle on the prepared baking sheet, creating peaks for an elegant finish.
- Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes until crisp outside but soft inside. Turn off the oven and let it cool inside to prevent cracking.
- While cooling, whip heavy cream to soft peaks and fold in melted white chocolate. Once pavlova is cool, generously spread the whipped mixture on top and garnish with fresh berries.
