Ginger pavlovas with apricots
Whip up an airy and sweet dessert in no time. Top meringues with tipsy (orange liqueur!) gingered apricots and serve.
4 egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tbsp cornstarch, sifted
2 tbsp finely chopped candied ginger
2 tsp white vinegar
2 cups 35% cream
3 tbsp icing sugar
4 cups Tipsy Gingered Apricots
POSITION oven rack in lower third of oven. Preheat to 250F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
BEAT egg whites in a large bowl, using an electric mixer on high, until soft peaks form when beaters are lifted, about 2 min. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 2 more min. Fold in cornstarch, ginger and vinegar. Spoon 8 individual pavlovas onto prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a spoon, indent the middles while pushing up the edges so they resemble nests.
BAKE until tops are crisp and dry, about 1 1/4 hours. Turn off oven and let them dry in oven for 30 more min. Leave pavlovas on baking sheet until completely cool.
WHISK cream with icing sugar in a large bowl until soft peaks form when beaters are lifted. Serve over pavlovas and top with sliced Tipsy Gingered Apricots. Drizzle with syrup from the apricot jar.
