Sophia Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I made the pavlova roll, didn't quite turn out like the photo in the book but not bad for a first pavlova roll. Recipe comes from this book http://www.pavlovabook.com/ 4 egg whites 120g caster sugar 2tsp white vinegar 1 tblsp cocoa 150g choc chip cookies 200ml cream Preheat oven to 160 degrees (fan forced is in the recipe, I don't have one so I put it closer to 170). Line a tray with non stick baking paper. In large clean bowl whip egg whites till they form peaks. While continuing to whip gradually rain in the caster sugar. Whip a further 5 mins till the sugar granules have dissolved. Add vinegar and fold in with metal spoon very gently until combined. With spatula smooth the mix onto the prepared tray in the shape of a rectangle 25cm x 30cm. Dust evenly with cocoa. Bake for 8 mins. Remove from oven and leave to cool for 10 mins. Place cookies in processor and blend till fine breadcrumbs. Whip cream to soft-whipped stage. Fold biscuit into cream. Place clean baking paper on top of the pavlova and turn upside down. Peel off top layer of paper. Smooth cream even over pavlova. Roll up width ways firmly Chill until serving time. Mine turned out more of a pavlova ring with cream in the middle and I used oreos so where the picture looks like a light brown inner, mine looks like mud. Also I used hot chocolate mix instead of cocoa and most of it peeled off at the last removing of paper where in the picture hers is intact. The only thing I am not sure of is why you fold it widthwise - there is much less of it to roll. Maybe so you get a longer slice? 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 verdict on the cookies n cream pav is that next time I would scrape off the icing from the biscuits and maybe use half as the oreos masked the delicate flavour of the pav. Still yummy though !drool: Caryl your piece was great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 That is a good link. I think the choc chip would be better as the Oreos would be a little overpowering (plus I don't like Oreos). I suspect you roll it width-wise as it will be too thick and will crack under the weight if you rolled it long-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 anyway I recommend getting the book out of the library as it has some yummy stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
