Raspberry Cream Pavlovas Recipes

Steps:

• Make the Pavlovas: Put raspberries into a fine sieve set over a medium bowl. Let drain, reserving 2 1/2 tablespoons juice; set juice aside. Press raspberries through sieve into bowl (you should have 3 to 4 tablespoons puree); discard solids, and reserve puree for filling.
• Put egg whites, sugar, and salt into the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk until sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Atach bowl to mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add reserved raspberry juice. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper. Using a spoon or a rubber spatula, form meringue into six 3 1/4-inch rounds on prepared sheet. Use the back of a spoon to make an indentation in center of each round. Bake until centers are just set and edges are crisp, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack.
• Make the filling: Whisk egg yolks, 3 tablespoons reserved raspberry puree, and the sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk in butter and salt. Transfer to a small bowl; place plastic wrap directly on surface of curd to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate curd at least 1 hour (up to 1 day).
• Put cream into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Serve Pavlovas topped with raspberry curd and whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees F.
• Place a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet pan. Draw a 9-inch circle on the paper, using a 9-inch plate as a guide, then turn the paper over so the circle is on the reverse side. (This way you won't get a pencil mark on the meringue.)
• Place the egg whites and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat the egg whites on high speed until firm, about 1 minute. With the mixer still on high, slowly add the sugar and beat until it makes firm, shiny peaks, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer, sift the cornstarch onto the beaten egg whites, add the vinegar and vanilla, and fold in lightly with a rubber spatula. Pile the meringue into the middle of the circle on the parchment paper and smooth it within the circle, making a rough disk. Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Turn off the oven, keep the door closed, and allow the meringue to cool completely in the oven, about 1 hour. It will be crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
• Invert the meringue disk onto a plate and spread the top completely with sweetened whipped cream. Combine the strawberries, blueberries and raspberries in a bowl and toss with about 1/2 cup of raspberry sauce, or enough to coat the berries lightly. Spoon the berries carefully into the middle of the Pavlova, leaving a border of cream and meringue. Serve immediately in large scoops with extra raspberry sauce.
• Sweetened Whipped Cream:
• Whip the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (you can also use a hand mixer). When it starts to thicken, add the sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until firm. Don't overbeat!
• Yield: 1 cup
• Triple Raspberry Sauce:
• Place the raspberries, sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 4 minutes. Pour the cooked raspberries, the jam, and framboise into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until smooth. Chill.
• Yield: 2 cups

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Process the thawed frozen raspberries with 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a food processor until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing on the solids with a rubber spatula; discard the solids.
• Beat the 1/4 cup raspberry puree with the egg whites, cream of tartar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment at high speed until foamy, about 2 minutes. At medium speed, gradually beat in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, then beat at high speed until stiff peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in 1 to 2 drops of food coloring, if using, to reach your desired color.
• Using a spoon, dollop 6 mounds of the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Using the back of the spoon, spread the mounds into 4-inch rounds. Bake the meringues until crisp but still chewy on the inside, 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the meringues cool completely, about 1 hour.
• In a clean and chilled bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a clean whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form; do not overbeat.
• To serve, spoon some of the reserved raspberry puree on the cooled meringues, then top each with the whipped cream, more raspberry puree and the fresh raspberries

Steps:

• Heat oven to 250 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw a circle with a 9-inch diameter, then flip paper upside-down. You'll still be able to see the outline.
• Using a blender or food processor, blend the raspberries until you get a fine powder speckled with seeds. (The seeds won't break down so don't even try.) You should have about 1/3 cup. Set aside.
• Using the bowl from an electric mixer, whisk together egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar and salt. Fill a medium pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Set the mixing bowl with the egg white mixture into the pot, and whisk constantly by hand until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove bowl from heat, transfer bowl back to the mixer, and beat with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 to 8 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the raspberry powder until combined but still very streaky.
• Spoon mixture onto prepared parchment paper circle. Lightly drag a spatula along the outer edges of the mixture from bottom to top, to help build up the edges so there is a deep well in the center of the pavlova. Bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until dry and firm to the touch. Transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
• A half-hour before serving, prepare the topping: Stir together 1/2 cup water, sugar, vanilla bean and lemon zest in a small pot over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved and syrup is thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Put peaches in a bowl, stir in syrup and let cool.
• Whisk together cream, sour cream, confectioners' sugar and salt until firm peaks form, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Fill cooled pavlova with whipped cream; use a slotted spoon to top with peach mixture and raspberries, then drizzle with some of the syrup from bottom of the peach bowl. Serve at once.
