Your just about to start lunch when friends arrive. Argh! Ok don't panic, there are enough vegetables and with a push you can stretch out the chicken.
But what are you going to do for dessert?
Canned fruit and ice-cream - boring. Ice-cream and topping - more boring.
What you need is something that tastes great, looks spectacular and most importantly only takes minutes to whip together.
What if I said make a Pavalova Roll.
Those of you who know what a Pavalova is, will think I've gone mad because it traditionally requires a long, slow oven and takes several hours to cook. But this is a 3 minute version.
For the unversed to the world of Pavalova - you don't know what your missing out on. Normally it is a large round dessert with a crisp meringue type casing and a soft marshmallow type inner. Once cooked and cooled it is decorated with fresh fruit and whipped cream.
It's a delicious sweet desert invented in either Australia or New Zealand to observe a visit from a visiting Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavalova.
Anyway, this recipe results in the sweet marshmellowy (is that a word) flat round that you cover in fruit and cream and then roll up. It lookstremendous
and tastes delicious. Neil and I made it on the weekend and it is so fast and simple.
Here it is, give it a go and we are sure you will add it to your repertoire of recipes.
¼ cup hazelnut meal or crushed nuts or cinnamon sugar
4 egg whites
¾ cup of castor (superfine) sugar
1 teaspoon vinegar, white
1 teaspoon vanilla
Take out the glass base from your microwave. Cut a bit of baking paper to the size of your microwave tray. Put the baking paper on the base. Dust with the meal or nuts to produce an even coverage - this is to stop the pav from sticking.
Beat the egg whites till fluffy. Add the other ingredients and whip till firm peaks form.
Spoon the egg mixture onto the baking paper in blobs. Then very carefully with the back of your spoon smooth each blob out. It does not have to be perfect but mainly level.
Now put in the microwave on full power for 3 minutes. Open door and allow to cool. Once cooled, top with a thick layer of whipped cream and fruit (use whatever you like - strawberries).
Start at one edge and careful roll up into a roll.
Serve everyone a slice and offer extra fruit and cream.
Enjoy! And Remember to Share.
