Change the soaking liquid for the fruit or don't soak them at all or sub the fruit for good quality chocolate bits. They don't look like the buns you buy from the supermarket, but I think that’s a good thing, Photography by Annika Kafcaloudis https://www.julia-ostro.com/recipes/pavlova monthly 0.5 2023-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b2ee2707d2b6394ba88ecf/4ebf0ca8-6656-4046-8412-0863d16229f9/JULIA_PAV_1022_017-WEB+RES.jpg RECIPES - Pavlova Serves 8 - 12 INGREDIENTS 7 egg whites Pinch of salt 400g caster sugar 2 tsp cornflour 1 1/2 tsp white vinegar 400 ml thickened cream 200 ml crème fraîche Fruit, to serve https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b2ee2707d2b6394ba88ecf/4b07540d-f5a9-4c2d-8bfa-4c111ea6e365/julia_pav_1022_056-hi+res.JPG RECIPES - Pavlova - Pavlova is a quintessential summer dessert and perfect for Christmas, which lucky for us in Australia, happily coincides with a bounty of tropical and stone fruits and berries. I like to keep mine really simple with two, maybe three different fruits. Here I’ve gone with a tropical mix of mango and passionfruit but also scattered over some coconut flakes and lime zest to brighten it up. While whipped cream is traditional, I like a combination of cream and crème fraîche which cuts through the sweetness. Just be sure to begin this recipe the day before, or at the very least 3 -4 hours before you want to eat it. Top your pavlova shell just before serving.

Nothing was ever measured and somehow it came together every single time. This cake is so delicious and simple to put together. It’s filled with apples, topped with pine nuts and so incredibly moist. It’s a cake that will happily sit on the kitchen bench for quite a few days as it’s slowly eaten. If you don’t have pine nuts, some flaked almonds or roughly chopped hazelnuts will do the trick just nicely too. Or leave the nuts out all together and scatter over some demerara sugar instead.

Directly next door to Sue Zen is a small outdoor cafe which specialises in Kakigori – shaved ice. On a hot day, there'll be lines out the door. They use seasonal syrups and my favourite is the one with sweetened condensed milk.
