Beechworth Honey Classic Pavlova with Poached Peaches

Ingredients

  • 225 ml egg whites ((approx 6 eggs))
  • 1 1/2 cups castor sugar
  • 1 tbsp corn flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp white vinegar
  • 10 peaches (pitted and sliced)
  • Thyme
  • 600 ml thickened cream
  • 1 tbsp Beechworth Honey
  • Additional honey, for drizzling

Instructions

  • In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg white on high speed until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add the sugar, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, whisking until each addition is fully dissolved before adding more. Be patient and take your time to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
  • Once all the sugar is incorporated, continue whisking for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture is thick, glossy, and holds stiff peaks.
  • Add the cornflour and vinegar and whisk until just combined.
  • Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).
  • Draw a 20cm circle on a sheet of non-stick baking paper using a pencil. Place the paper, pencil-side down, on a baking tray.
  • Spoon the meringue mixture into the circle, shaping it into a neat round.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 120°C (250°F) and bake for 1 hour.
  • Turn off the oven and let the meringue cool completely inside the oven.
  • To prepare the peaches, heat a pan over medium heat. Add the peach slices with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of thyme leaves.
  • Cook until the peaches are tender and caramelised.
  • When ready to serve, whip the cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. Add the honey and whip until combined.
  • Construct the pavlova by adding cream between the two layers and a generous layer of cream on top. Top with the grilled peaches and sauce from the pan and an extra drizzle of honey.
