  • 1 tsp White Wine Vinegar

  • 2 tbsp Matcha Powder

DIRECTIONS

  1. To make the meringue, whip egg whites until foamy, then add the sugar little by little and continue to whip to stiff peaks.
  2. Add the white wine vinegar, cornflour, and matcha powder and whip until incorporated.
  3. Using a dinner plate, draw a circle on a piece of parchment paper, and using this as a guide, use a spatula to shape the base of the pavlova, leaving a bit of a crater in the middle.
  4. Bake at 150C for 1 hour, turn off the oven, crack it open and allow to cool completely.
  5. To make your chantilly, whip the cream with the sugar and vanilla to soft peaks.
  6. For the coulis, add the fresh strawberries and icing sugar to a blender and blitz until smooth.
  7. To assemble, fill the crater in the meringue with cream, then top with strawberries, the coulis, and dust with matcha!
