Foodie Friday: Williams Sonoma’s Peppermint Bark Pavlova

Leave a Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

This layered pavlova makes a stunning Christmas Day dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups (630g) sugar
  • 2 tbs cornflour
  • 12 egg whites
  • 2 pinches of salt
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 625g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 2 1/2 cups (625 ml) thick cream (min 35% fat)
  • 1 tin (454g) Peppermint Bark, 1 sheet broken into smallย pieces, 1 sheet broken into large shards
  • Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)

Method

Have all the ingredients at room temperature.

Position 1 rack in the upper third and 1 rack in the lower third of an oven. Preheat the oven to 120ยฐC. Line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups (315g) of the sugar and 1 tbs of the cornflour until evenly distributed. Set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together 6 of the egg whites, 1 pinch of salt and 1/2 tsp of the cream of tartar on low speed until frothy, about 30 seconds. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 30 seconds more. Increase the speed to medium-high and slowly add the sugar mixture. Beat for 1 minute, then add 1/2 tsp of the vanilla. Continue beating until the mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a 2cm round tip.

Starting in the centre of each prepared baking sheet, pipe a 23cm round of meringue, working outward in a spiral fashion. Using a spatula, gently spread the meringue so it is level and flat. Transfer the baking sheets to the oven and bake until the meringues are just slightly browned and dry to the touch, about 1 1/4 hours, switching the sheets between the racks and rotating them 180 degrees halfway through baking.

Transfer the baking paper sheets with the meringues on them to wire racks. When the meringues are cool to the touch, gently remove them from the baking paper and place directly on the racks.

Wash and dry the mixer bowl and whisk. Repeat the process with the remaining sugar, cornflour, egg whites, salt, cream of tartar and vanilla, and bake and cool 2 more rounds of meringue.

Wash and dry the mixer bowl and whisk. Place the chocolate in the mixer bowl.


In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the cream to a simmer. Pour over the chocolate and let stand for 2 minutes, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Let cool to room temperature, about 2 hours.

Set the bowl on the mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until the ganache is light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the ganache to a clean pastry bag fitted with a 2cm round tip.

To assemble the pavlova, pipe a small dollop of the ganache on a cake stand or platter. Place 1 meringue round on top, pipe a layer of the ganache on the meringue and sprinkle with one-third of the small Peppermint Bark pieces. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of ganache on top of the fourth meringue round. Top with the large Peppermint Bark shards. Serve the pavlova with vanilla ice cream. Serves 12.

Tip:ย To make it easier to create even layers of meringue, draw a circle guideline on each sheet of baking paper, then place the paper on a baking sheet. If you donโ€™t have a pastry bag, place large scoops of the meringue in the centre of each circle guideline and use a spatula to carefully spread the meringue to the edges of the circle, forming an even layer. Whip the ganache just before assembling the pavlova; it can quickly become too firm to work with.

A glass shower screen is not the only option! In A glass shower screen is not the only option!

In this 80s villa reno, @trentinidesign took inspiration from an archway typical of the era and used it throughout the home.

The bathroom was transformed from a classic three-piece set up that included a shower, bath and vanity. Kathryn removed the bath and split the room in half and designed an arch to sit between the two zones. 

โ€œI wanted something spectacular. Rather than having a vanity with a piece of glass like you would typically see, I was really trying to push myself as a designer. It was costly but it worked out well and the feedback has been great."

Will you check out the joyful and colourful reno of her holiday home (and airbnb) @yo_caba_caba?!

Head over to the blog via link in bio to read all about why she went bold and full of pattern in this project, which is a stark contrast to her zen and neutral Northern Beaches abode.

There's also plenty of details about where things are from etc.

"Iโ€™m not an interior designer so I just chose what I liked and followed my gut. Ultimately this home has been an opportunity to explore my alter ego โ€“ it allowed me to do things that I wouldnโ€™t normally do.โ€

Not many friends in life fall into the unofficial Not many friends in life fall into the unofficial family category and they're a special gift. So ends three weeks with @danisteve81 who left her husband and son in the UK (I'm forever grateful they lent her to me!) to come and cheer me up and help me in the most practical ways after I spent Christmas and New Year in hospital. There were tears and I miss her so much already but how amazing to have had all that time together as adults. Such a rare treat and would never have happened without having been through something so challenging. Silver linings and all that. So many other friends have also been incredibly thoughtful and kind. There aren't many times I'd say this without cringing but I am 100% blessed!

I still cannot believe we have been friends since we were 12! 12! Are you still close with your childhood besties?
