Miniature Pavlovas
 
Makes approximately 6 Pavlovas
Ingredients
  • 1¼ cups sugar
  • 1½ tablespoons cornstarch
  • 5 egg whites, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup prepared fromage blanc
  • ½ cup raspberry-pomegranate preserves*
  • Garnish: fresh raspberries, fresh pomegranate arils, fresh mint, and edible flowers
Instructions
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and cornstarch.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer set over a pan of simmering water, combine egg whites, vanilla extract, salt, and sugar mixture. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture reaches 140˚ on a candy thermometer.
  4. Preheat oven to 200˚.
  5. Remove bowl from heat, and place on stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat mixture on high speed for 8 to 10 minutes, or until stiff and glossy. Spoon mixture onto prepared baking sheet in 4- to 5-inch mounds, making a well in the center of each. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn off oven, and leave Pavlovas in oven overnight.
  6. Divide fromage blanc and preserves among Pavlovas. Garnish with raspberries, pomegranate arils, mint, and edible flowers, if desired. Serve immediately.
