I released this in my Cuisine Companion members only club, in May this year.

However its time to share with all other CC owners .. Although all the step by step photos will only be in the club !

I called it Mothers Day Pavlova when I first released it in May this year because My Mum Loved making Pavlova and I thought I would call it that even though when it was to be seen it was after Mothers Day…..

However everyone would be experienced Pavlova makers by next Mothers day and all the other events in between !
Pavlova is a VERY Sweet desert so I tend to have it only once a year ! Its still lovely to have for a party and have a small slice now and then and its FUN To make !

TIP – Ensure your bowl and whisk are 100% clean and dry with no oil or anything else residue This is super important in making your meringue.350g of pure icing sugar or make your own from Caster Sugar ( see below in method )

After 5 minutes reduce to speed 5 and then Start to pour sugar slowly through the hold in the lid.
