Ingredients
Toppings
- 2/3 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 Tbs. sugar
- 1 large, ripe mango, peeled and diced (2 cups)
- 1 6-oz. container raspberries
Pavlova
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch
- 1/2 cup large egg whites (about 4 eggs)
- 1 tsp. fresh lime juice or lemon juice
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Preparation
1. To make Toppings: Beat cream, yogurt, and 1 Tbs. sugar in medium bowl until stiff. Combine mango, raspberries, and remaining 1 Tbs. sugar in separate bowl. Cover, and chill until ready to serve.
2. Position oven rack just below center, and preheat oven to 250°F. Trace 9-inch-diameter circle onto sheet of parchment paper. Turn parchment over onto large rimmed baking sheet; circle should show through.
3. To make Pavlova: Combine 1 Tbs. sugar and cornstarch in small bowl. Beat egg whites, lime juice, and vanilla with handheld electric mixer in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining 15 Tbs. sugar. Increase mixer speed to medium-high; beat 4 minutes, or until meringue is thick and satiny, and path remains when spoon is drawn through. Beat in cornstarch mixture.
4. Scrape meringue into center of circle on parchment. Spread meringue to fill circle, building edges slightly higher than center. Bake Pavlova 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until outside is dry but center is still soft (crust will give when poked). Turn off oven, leave door closed, and cool 1 hour in oven. Slide metal spatula under Pavlova to loosen, and transfer to cake plate using a tart pan’s removable bottom for support.
5. Spread yogurt cream thickly over Pavlova, leaving 1-inch border uncovered. Top with fruit mixture.
