Ingredients
 
 

Vegan Meringue Base

  • 10 g Potato Protein
  • 150 g water cold
  • 0.3 g xanthan gum
  • 120 g sugar
  • 1 pinch xanthan gum add this before whipping
  • 40 g icing sugar
  • 10 g cornstarch

Fruit Filling and Whipped Cream

  • 100 g mangoes ripe and sweet
  • 100 g pineapple ripe
  • 1 passionfruit large
  • 10 leaves basil fresh
  • Zest of 1 lime large
  • 200 g vegan whipping cream gluten-free, soy-free
  • 1 g vanilla powder or 10 g vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Vegan Meringue Base

  • Combine the potato protein powder, xanthan gum and water.
  • Use a hand blender to fully dissolve the powder. Cover and store in the fridge for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Whip the potato protein mixture until it reaches a soft peak; add the sugar in three batches. Increase the speed and whip for 8 to 10 minutes until you achieve glossy, stiff peaks.
  • Fold the sifted icing sugar and cornstarch carefully in three batches. Do not deflate the meringue.
  • Pipe the meringue into 7 cm (3 in) disks. Using a rounded or measuring spoon, make a hollow in the middle.
  • Bake for 60-90 minutes in a preheated 105°C (220°F) oven.
  • Watch the vegan meringue video for detailed instructions.

Making the Fruit Filling

  • Cut the pineapple and mango separately into small cubes. Drain to remove excess juice. Finely chop the basil and mix it with the cut pineapple.
  • Keep the cut fruits in the fridge to chill and marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Assembling the Pavlova

  • Using a bowl, whip the dairy free cream until it’s light and fluffy. Vanilla can be added for an extra hint of flavor.
  • Brush the meringue disks with melted cacao butter on the top and bottom sides. This will seal the surface of the meringue and prevent it from sogging.
  • Using a star tip, pipe the whipped cream around the sides of the meringue, leaving it hollow in the middle.
  • Fill the pavlova with the basil-marinated pineapple first, then the mango.
  • Drizzle some fresh passion fruit juice with seeds around the filling.
  • Add a few pieces of roasted coconut and finish with the fresh lime zest on top.

Notes

  • Coating the whole meringue base with melted cacao butter or vegan white chocolate prevents the pavlova from being soggy and for extended shelf life of two days in the fridge.
