Lemon Curd Pavlova Roll
Ingredients
250g egg white
450g caster sugar
10ml lemon juice
5g cornflour
50g caster sugar
25g chopped pistachios
Pinch ground cardamom
10g dessicated coconut
250g Lemon curd
125g mascapone
250g whipped cream
Method
Mix together the 50g caster sugar, pistachios, coconut and cardamom, and set aside. Line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside. Whip the egg whites until firm and then add the sugar in a slow steady stream until combined. Fold in the cornflour and lemon juice and spread onto the baking tray. Sprinkle over some of the coconut nut mix.
Bake at 150C 10-15 mins until cooked but still soft. Allow to cool. Place a sheet of baking paper over the top of the Pavlova. Carefully invert and peel off the baking paper layer. Fold together the lemon curd, whipped cream, mascarpone and spread over the Pavlova base. Roll into a coil and place on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh berries or meringue shapes and a dust of icing sugar.
