Ingredients

4 egg whites (Large eggs)
1 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon cornflour
1 teaspoon vinegar
300ml cream, whipped
1 punnet fresh raspberries
toasted flaked coconut, for garnish
LEMON CURD*
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
200g, butter, cubed

Method

PAVLOVA ROULADE Butter and line a 25cm x 30cm Swiss roll pan with baking paper. Beat egg whites in a mixer until stiff peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar until dissolved. Add cornflour and vinegar and mix until combined. Spoon mixture into pan and level with a spatula. Bake at 150°C for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden on top. Turn out onto a sheet of baking paper that has been dusted with icing sugar and carefully remove baking paper from roulade. Allow to cool.
LEMON CURD – Makes 1 1/2 cups Combine all ingredients in a large metal bowl and whisk continuously over simmering water until butter has melted, sugar has dissolved and mixture has just started to thicken slightly. It will set on cooling. Pour into a clean sterilised jar refrigerate until required (up to 3 months).
TO ASSEMBLE Spread roulade with 1/2 cup lemon curd. Reserve 1/4 cup cream for garnish, and spread the rest over the roulade. Arrange the raspberries along one long edge, keeping a few for garnish. Roll up from that edge, enclosing the raspberries in the centre of the roll. Dust with icing sugar, dollop the top with remaining cream and garnish with raspberries and coconut.

Tips

* Make the Lemon Curd while the Pavlova cooks, or use storebought lemon curd or lemon butter, if you don’t have time to make it from scratch.
STYLING Use a small teaspoon to dollop spoonfuls of cream on top of icing sugar-dusted roulade, then position a raspberry on each dollop and fish with a sprinkle of coconut.
