Lemon Cream Pavlovas

March 30, 2015 by Brett Youmans Leave a Comment

Looking for a perfect Easter dessert?  Take a look at these Lemon Cream Pavlovas!  Don’t let the the name pavlova scare you off — it’s just a fancy name for meringue topped with stuff.  By stuff I mean cream and fruit.  The dessert is believed to have been created in honor of Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova in the 1920’s during one of her tours in either Australia or New Zealand.  While the debate of its origin may remain unsolved, one thing is for certain:  It is a delicious creation.

Remember that Olive Oil Lemon Curd I posted last week?  Believe it or not, I still had some left over.  Every time I opened up the refrigerator door and saw it sitting there, I couldn’t resist sticking my finger in the jar grabbing a spoon for a little taste of lemony deliciousness so it’s an Easter miracle that I had enough left over to make this dandy little creation.

The meringue has a perfectly crisp exterior while the inside is gooey and marshmallow-like.  It’s topped with a lemon cream made by combining whipping cream and a little bit of the lemon curd and crowned with a little dollop of the curd.  They actually look like sunny side up eggs!

This showy springtime dessert is the perfect ending to any celebration.  Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 9
Ingredients
  • 5 large egg whites, room temperature
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup superfine granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Colavita Aged White Wine Vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup Olive Oil Lemon Curd (recipe in link)
  • fresh mint leaves and lemon zest for garnish, if desired
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 300 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a 4-inch ramekin as a guide, draw 9 circles on the parchment.
  2. Make the meringue: In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites and salt on medium speed until light and frothy, about 3 minutes. Add the sugar by tablespoonfuls and continue to beat until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Add the vinegar, cornstarch, and vanilla and beat until stiff and glossy peaks form, about 2 minutes longer.
  3. Evenly divide the meringue among the circles drawn on the parchment and spread with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to make a circle with a slight indentation in the center.
  4. Bake 30 minutes and then turn the oven off. Allow the meringues to remain in the oven until completely cooled. They will be dry to the touch with a crisp exterior.
  5. Meanwhile, make the lemon cream. Beat the whipping cream on high until soft peaks form. Fold in 5 tablespoons of the lemon curd and mix until blended.
  6. To assemble, spoon 3 tablespoons of the lemon cream into center of each meringue and top with a teaspoonful of remaining lemon curd. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon zest, if desired.

Beets are one of the first things I get planted in the garden every year. Depending on the variety, they’re ready from seed to table in about 60 days. While we mostly associate this versatile vegetable with its deeply hued taproot, did you know the leaves are also edible? As they grow to maturity in the garden, I enjoy clipping the leaves for fresh crisp salads and quick stir-fry dishes. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Photo of jelly jars filled with Lavender-Strawberry Jam Spritzer Cocktail. We make strawberry jam every year and always have it on hand so it seemed natural to use it as a sweeter in this cocktail. When mixed together with a bit of lavender syrup, vanilla infused vodka, and club soda, you’ve got something quite special. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Perfect Steamed Eggs! The only sure-fire trick is to use old eggs. As eggs age, they gradually lose moisture through the pores in their shell and the air pocket at the tip expands. The pH of the whites also changes, going from a low pH to a relatively high pH, which makes them adhere less strongly to the shell. Farm-fresh eggs will always be tricky to age. Ideally, buy your eggs a week or two before you plan to boil them and let them age in the fridge.
