Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures
  • 4 egg whites
  • 200 grams caster sugar
  • 1 packet dates (chopped)
  • 15 ml baking powder (sprinkle over the dates)
  • 100 grams walnuts (chopped)
  • 100 ml sponge finger (broken up)
  • 750 grams cream (whipped)

Method

  1. Beat the egg whites, add the castor sugar a tablespoon at a time.
  2. Fold in the chopped dates, nuts and the biscuits.
  3. Spread meringue onto baking paper in a 20cm circle.
  4. Bake at 140C for 2 hours and leave to cool in the oven.
  5. Slice horizontally, fill the inside generously with cream and dollop the rest of the cream on top.
  6. Decorate with chocolate leaves or curls and rosebuds.

(I prefer to do 2 thinner circles and not have to split them, which could be disastrous! I also put the meringue into the oven at 180C and then turned it down immediately to 140C. It is possible the pav could be ready sooner than 2 hours - just check. I also added a little sugar and some vanilla to the cream.) from IDEAS Magazine
