Passionfruit & Elderflower Pavlova

Ingredients

  • 2 Cowells Pavlova 300 gram
  • 1 Countdown Passionfruit Pulp 170gram
  • 500 ml Countdown Fresh Cream
  • ½ cup + 1 Tablespoon Elderflower cordial – I used homemade but a great alternative is Barkers Lime & Elderflower Cordial Countdown

Garnish

  • Fresh As freeze dried raspberries
  • Elderflowers and/or flowers of your choice. Cut stems on an angle so they insert nicely.
  • Pomegranate seeds

Equipment

  • Sharp large knife to cut the pavlovas in half
  • Cake stand or plate for serving
  • Whisk or electric beaters (or pre whip the cream if working without power)
  • 3 other plates to place cut pieces on while working
  • Chopping board for prepping
  • Scissors for cutting any straggly bits off flowers
  • Spoons for spreading cream and passionfruit
  • Cloth for cleaning up
  • Serving dishes as per your preference

Instructions

  1. Prepare garnish and get serving plate/stand ready
  2. Whip cream, it needs to be stiff, as we are adding the cordial to it, but don’t over whip. IF you do, add a splash of runny cream to bring it back to life.
  3. Add elderflower cordial to cream. Stir to combine.
  4. Cut pavlova in half through the middle. Place a “bottom” on your cake stand. And put the “top” on a plate for later. The middle of the pavlova is sticky so turn upside down when placing on your plate so it doesn’t stick.
  5. Prepare to layer the 4 slices. Spread bottom with cream about 1cm high and spoon over passionfruit around the edge so that when sandwiched together a little will run down the side but you will still get a passionfruit hit when you get a slice.
  6. Place your other “bottom” on and repeat.
  7. Place a “top” on and repeat.
  8. Place your last “top” on.
  9. Spoon cream over the top and garnish. You can garnish any way you please but here is how I did mine. First with freeze dried raspberries, crumbled a little, around the outside in a circle. Then passionfruit and pomegranate. Then placed some roses and elderflower in the centre. SO easy but so impressive!

Recipe Notes

*Note some ingredients were only partly used IE ½ a pomegranate. This is reflected in the final price.
