Making pavlova in a slow cooker is an innovative twist on the classic dessert. While pavlova is traditionally baked in the oven, using a slow cooker offers a convenient alternative, especially if you need to free up oven space or don’t want to heat up your kitchen. Here’s how you can make slow cooker pavlova:
Ingredients:
- 4 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream, for serving
- Fresh fruit (such as berries, kiwi, or passionfruit), for topping
- Mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare Slow Cooker: Line the bottom and sides of your slow cooker with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to help with lifting the pavlova later. This will prevent the pavlova from sticking to the slow cooker.
- Whip Egg Whites: In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Add Sugar: Gradually add the caster sugar, about a tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. Beat until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
- Add Flavorings: Gently fold in the cornstarch, white vinegar, and vanilla extract until evenly incorporated into the meringue mixture.
- Shape Pavlova: Spoon the meringue mixture into the prepared slow cooker, spreading it out evenly to form a round shape with slightly raised edges.
- Cook Pavlova: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook the pavlova on low heat for 2-3 hours, or until the pavlova is set and the surface is dry to the touch. Avoid opening the slow cooker lid during the cooking process to prevent heat loss.
- Cool Pavlova: Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let the pavlova cool completely in the slow cooker with the lid off. This will help prevent the pavlova from collapsing.
- Serve Pavlova: Carefully lift the pavlova out of the slow cooker using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer it to a serving platter. Top the pavlova with whipped cream and fresh fruit of your choice. Garnish with mint leaves, if desired.
- Slice and Enjoy: Slice the pavlova into portions and serve immediately. Enjoy the light and fluffy pavlova with its crisp exterior and marshmallow-like interior.
Tips:
- Make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are clean and free from any grease, as any traces of grease can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly.
- Pavlova can be quite delicate, so handle it carefully when transferring it out of the slow cooker and onto a serving platter.
- Customize your pavlova with your favorite toppings such as sliced strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, kiwi, passionfruit, or mango.
- Slow cooker sizes and cooking times may vary, so keep an eye on your pavlova towards the end of the cooking time to ensure it doesn’t overcook.
Enjoy your slow cooker pavlova as a delicious and impressive dessert for any occasion!
