My egg separating skills proved to be adequate which saved me a lot of time and making the meringue did not prove to be difficult at all. Of course, I documented my process with pics but next time I will try and remember to take more pics of each actual step.
Anyways, meringue turned out fine, but I think I could have kept it in the oven a little longer to get more of a crunch/cracking sound but there was still a sound and a nice gooey mashmallow centre.
Ok so the downside, I have also never been a fan of cream so was once again not sure. I stepped away from my mixer for a little too long which resulted in over whipped cream =[
Overall, I would say the pavlova was a success! My critics, Thanh, Lisa, Patrick and Charlie all agreed that the pavlova was good and there is always room for improvement. Question is, would I make this again? Probably not. The baking time and cooling time is way too long for a dessert I am not a fan of.
Ok, more next week! Suggestions please. Oh but no seafood. Allergies =[
