I can't stop going to the fridge and eating small slices of this. I know I shouldn't because it has a lot of calories and now the Tour de France has started, I'll watch it everyday and be so enthused to get on by bike and return to my youthful fitness.
When it all goes 'peach shape', or I do, I'll blame my husband for letting me eat it and not taking an active interest in my fitness but still I will return to the fridge for just one more slice. So don't make this pavlova.
or maybe just once
Ingredients
4 egg whites
200g sugar
1 teaspoon cornflour
1/2 teaspoon vinegar
3-4 ripe peaches
500ml whipping cream
2 tablespoons of icing sugar
How to go about it
Preheat oven to 120°c
Whip egg whites until stiff, then add sugar tablespoon at a time, whip between tablespoons, it should be nice and glossy and stiff. Add cornflour then vinegar, mix. Line a baking tray with silicone paper and mark a large circle of 25cm diameter. Spoon half of the egg whites on to circle, spreading out. Place the rest of the egg whites into a piping bag with a large star nozzle and pipe a boarder, building up the sides until all used up. Bake in the middle of the oven for 45 minutes until firm. Let cool in the oven. When you are ready to fill meringue, whip cream and add icing sugar to taste. Stone peaches and slice. Fill with cream and arrange peaches on top.
