Pavlova (Meringue Dessert) - RECIPE

[DualCarat]

i don't have fresh thickened cream in where i live :( can i use whipping cream as a substitute?

[OnePotChefShow]

@DualCarat Any cream suitable for whipping will be fine ;)

[siaojonna]

can i use icing sugar? thanks.. love lots!

[Amalie102]

I love your videos but I have a problem I am from Denmark and I do not know if you can buy the things you need for your cake if you can get them in Denmark and if you can try making a banana split =)

[MissBumblebee222]

I love this recepie, just when you said that it is a classical australian recepie I couldn't help laughing....!

[ReeveRuddock]

@OnePotChefShow I ADORE your enthuiasm to the recipes!

[KakashiRoyal]

Now I can be more prepared in cooking Australian recipes for my girlfriend when we finally meet~

[jenry1993]

awsome



[Chrie277]

replace the vanilla essence with mint essence and instead of fruit, top with after dinner mints and flaked chocolate for a great twist! x

[oldschoolappel]

thanks alot chef.....

been dragged in ur videos and now im to late for a BIRTHDAY!:O

[djavocard]

soo muchh sugar!!

[KLtrvlr937]

I made this with the variation of adding cocoa and it was AMAZING. the only thing is, it fell so flat upon cooling. Does Rain/ wet weather affect these? I am so bummed it messed up, I am OCD so things have to be just right with me, lol. I also used coconut milk whipped cream on top because I'm allergic to milk. :)

[taiyou18]

@KLtrvlr937 Humid or wet weather affects meringues badly; usually, I try to avoid making them on rainy days.

I'm not sure why it fell flat, but perhaps it was because of the weather and not enough cream of tartar? Cream of tartar stabilizes the whipped egg whites. Also be careful of reducing sugar because sugar stabilizes it as well.

When you're cooling, try propping open the door a little - maybe 1/2 inch so the temperature doesn't fluctuate too much.

[St34DyB0y1409]

Could i use Whipped cream from an airesole can instead of making the cream myself?

[OnePotChefShow]

@St34DyB0y1409 If you prefer ;)

[kulkulbelle]

@St34DyB0y1409 You could but it nowhere near as nice. I also never sweeten my whipped cream for the topping as the pavlova is sweet enough

[XmastergsanX]

Ohh man.. I used 8 egg whites and did everything you said.

My one ended up being about 3 times the size of yours and it was all gooey inside because it was way to big to bake properly, it also had a burnt taste on the outside because i left it in for to long trying to get the goo to go, didnt work though. next time ill try 4 eggs and see how that goes.

[firdawina91]

how long should i let the meringue cool in the oven ?

[jngwatson]

Looks decadent.

[guitarhero666759]

i was expecting more debate about whether nz owns pavlova or australia owns it lol

[Deloushi]

Ahhhhh gd old pavlova!!!!!! Really need to try this recipe ASAP! Also please make some Moroccan styled cous cous!!! Pretty pretty please!!!!!

[pansitkantonify]

I hear NZ whenever I say pavlova.

[OzGirl4Eva]

You should try chocolate pavlova!!!

[missrosetejano]

i need your help. i whipped the eggs until it was foamy. then i added the sugar. i added the sugar one dessert spoon at a time (mixed it for a minute each spoon). i added the cream of tar tar, and vanilla essence.in the end the mixture looked like it bubbles, on surface. the dessert had bubbles it b4 i added the vanilla and ta tar

Did i spent too much time mixing in the sugar?

is it because i used a hand beater?

i used cane sugar, because here we don't have castor sugar.

[OnePotChefShow]

@missrosetejano You need to use a fine white sugar for best results, but if the eggs were still foamy, they weren't beaten enough ;)

[missrosetejano]

@missrosetejano i try it again and it turns out i was using the wrong sugar. in the usa castor sugar is actually baker's sugar or superfine sugar. thanks one pot

[roarmouse]

@missrosetejano

Late but still..US cooks should look for "superfine" sugar(Domino brand has it) or run regular white sugar through a (not used for coffee) coffee grinder :)

[cindydancer96]

Your fridge must be full of ingredients to make a lot of tasty foods. O_O

[xtemari4evax]

Thank you so much! It's so yummy!! :3

[Aldazita]

Just a quick note: If you are using a plastic bowl to whisk the egg whites in, make sure it is really clean as any tiny particles of oily residue can prevent the whites from whipping up correctly, if in doubt, cut a lemon in half and rub it around the bowl. This should work every time.

I absolutely love watching your videos Onepotchef, keep them coming x

[OnePotChefShow]

@Aldazita That's a good tip - thanks for sharing ;)

[Charliesperanza]

Okay, slightly wrong in that statement, I believe originally our recipe but you guys called it Pavlova.

[Charliesperanza]

New Zealand recipe created for the ballerina Anna Pavlova.

I know, long time argument right? Gorgeous recipe though. I love it. My Grandmother's signature dessert.

[frozenchay]

havent taste one

[chocolateice87]

my pavlova is soft, is it because of the heat? or i didn't beat the egg whites well enough?

[OnePotChefShow]

@chocolateice87 It should be soft on the inside with a crisp shell on the outside - if thats what yours is like, you got it right ;)

[chocolateice87]

@OnePotChefShow sadly it's soft on the outside as well as the inside :(

[OnePotChefShow]

@chocolateice87 Without having seen what you did while making it, it's difficult to say what went wrong. Did you follow the recipe exactly? Was the oven set at the correct temperature?

[strawberryaddict09]

can we use the plain sugar or icing sugar? btw i love your videos ^_^

[efaifi]

you have the same mixer like my mom's, definitely a classic kenwood! going to try it this weekend, thank you for this.

[ashram97]

cant i just use whipped cream? (already in the carton)

[ashram97]

cant i just use whipped cream?

[Multazima]

Awww, we didn't get to hear you say "OH YUM"!! =D

[auvyx]

tehehe coles thickened cream XD

[Pieceofshota]

What is that cracked thing in the buttom called ? Looked like a cream then it turned into something differnet. What does it taste like and feel to eat ? I wanna try.

[PhilomenaAnne]

I love pavlova.

[Nimarocks]

Great video

[100mydoglovesme]

OMG me and my mum tried to make mirangues and thet yurned out brown and soggy lol xX

[tiffdawriter]

@100mydoglovesme You might have had some yolk in the egg whites...just a little bit will keep the whites from foaming up ;)

[GlitsyMakeUp]

thats yummy

[nancyweeal]

You have beautiful eyes :)

[Diane0930]

OMG i want to be ur daughter bahaha

[cathurnx3]

OPC I <3 YOU! Your videos are so good! Makes me want to cook and cook and cook. They're so tasty your recipes and i love watching you own the camera. Good job Pot and keep those delicious vids coming!

[LaurenzoDiMedici]

6 people don't like pavlova?........ Ye don't know what ye are missing!!

[hanna56725]

yummmyyyy

[Kaylawrites]

Ahh i love your videos! I was browsing to try to find a good Pavlova recipe and your vid caught my eye- which led to the rest of your videos catching my eyes and now i'm hooked! say hello to your newest subbbie!

K ♥

[maptrking]

Thanks for clarifying caster sugar ... I couldn't for the life of me figure that out.... Thanks David!!

[yechi12]

how fine is the sugar sposed to be? is it supposed to be like powdered sugar, or should it still be grainy?

[OnePotChefShow]

@yechi12 Use a fine "caster" sugar - it's finer than normal white sugar, but still "grainy" unlike powdered sugar ;)

[acf870]

i make caramel, banana and cream toppings or persimmons, ganache and cream or buttered almonds and prailine topping... obviously i like pav experiments

[MiFFiL]

@hotdog1997 Yes, and probably not..

[allaria8700]

I've always wanted to know how to make Pavlova but feared it was too scary to do :) Now I know otherwise, YUM!

[Nangeala]

What is fresh thickened cream? - Im not sure I can get anything other than normal cream, and its coffee variants in most supermarkets in my country. Is there a way to make it myself, or can you explain what it is, so I could look for it - even if its got another name over here :)

[OnePotChefShow]

@Nangeala Thickened Cream is cream that has gelatin added to it to make it thicker and easier to whip. You'll find it in the dairy cabinet at the supermarket. Otherwise, any cream suitable for whipping will do ;)

[wingscancer]

you added the sugar and Vanilla Essence to early

best to temper it to get more air in it 

salt..cornflour...and dash of vinegar with controlled heat will stop the cracks

----------------

got to make them for a living lol

[phatguagage03]

@wingscancer do u have are video of making your pav i would like to see it :)

[wingscancer]

@phatguagage03 ill ask my dad if i can use the bakery lol

whole family of cooks =p

[m15vbc]

how long did you whisk for in all?

[themayhemachineable]

i just finished baking and eating this. i swear folks. this is the best thing ive tasted. my cousin agrees. he wants me to bake it for his birthday! i topped it with strwberries and blueberries. such a gorgeous easy delightful dessert.

[OnePotChefShow]

@NicolasBacon1 Read the video description

[themayhemachineable]

you are so amazing David! just a quick question, is thickened cream the same as full cream? i havent seen thickened cream around my local baking supply shop. what can i substitute it with? Please keep doing what you do! you make my day everytime i watch your videos!

[OnePotChefShow]

@themayhemachineable Thickened Cream is any fresh cream that is suitable for whipping. "Thickened Cream" in Australia contains a small amount of Gelatin to make it slightly thicker (so it's easier to whip) ;)

[pepette999]

love your receipes and you are so funny :)

[nclegless]

Great Video!  Pavlova is even better!

[joancover0389]

i made this for my mom in mothers day (may 10 here in mexico) and she loved it! thanks for the recipe! only it was a square and had just strawberries haha

[brownQtee]

this looks sooooo yummmy!!!.. but out of curiosity, instead of using the tartar or corn flour, will regular flour work as well?

[OnePotChefShow]

@brownQtee No, it must be Cream of Tartar or Corn Flour. Regular Flour will not work.

[fearisreal101]

cool

[arkhumrox]

YUM!

[MissRLA]

Who cares where the Pav came from. Its funny to see people get all worked up over it. Pavlova looks yummy!!! *drools*

[xcrazylilfluffyx]

@MissRLA im from aus, dont care who made it...its food for goodness sakes!!! 

[miggy31488]

Who cares where it came from it looks delish, and if you care that much where the pie came from (all you haters) you need to get a life, He is simply showing how to make it. I can't wait to try this at home ; )

[sherliza78]

Who cares where it came from. Its wonderful and the recipe should be shared!! Way to go David!

[canityounitt]

dessert is great.. in moderation

[SuperDuper332]

I don't care who made it first it looks tasty and great. Good for sharing.

[OnePotChefShow]

@BPOPINGTMO Read the video description to find out why you've been BLOCKED.

[derekbegins]

@BPOPINGTMO @BPOPINGTMO Seriously, no one is gonna care much about what you debate here... NZ or Australia.. who cares?What we all care is about how it looks,taste and things that are going in to our tummy that make us feel happy.. seriously.. stop this kind of worthless,immature,lifeless subject.and no one is gonna F*** Off. unless you make a video on how to do that while you are going off.I wonder what will your parents feel and think if she/he ever read your comment here....WHO RAISE YOU!!..

[derekbegins]

@BPOPINGTMO and btw im not from Australia.. even though "Reserch" proved that the source is from NZ,I dont really care.but they did say both Australia and NZ so i would say it was from both Countries. Stop being a Loser and grow up.

[BPOPINGTMO]

There is so much evidence to prove it is made in NZ. Fuck off Aussies, jealous of our creations once again !

[DeBestPunisher]

OMG.. thank you so much for putting this on the net my mum owns a kenwood is well same model and everything i will be trying this out she used to make these for my bday now i have a recipe to make one for hers. Ur a legend ps totally agree with the whole aussie vs kiwi thing even thou im a kiwi myself its just hilarous we live right next to each other dont understand the hating. keep cooking more with the kenwood best peice of equipment in the kitchen

[millystack]

what also tastes great on pav is if you grate a some chocolate, or just break up a flake chocolate bar if you're lazy (like me) and another trick is to make the fruit you put on top in pretty designs, then it makes it look a lot more difficult than it is. :)

Ima make some pavlova later

[timtamtyrant]

OnePotChef - I know you're sick of the debate, and this suggestion won't resolve it for those nationalistic people out there, but I think if you link to this online book review it'll help inform those who are interested in the historical accuracy of the development of what we know as "Pavlova" and not just wanting to wave their flag about.

Tried posting the link, but it's not accepting - google NZ listener Pavlova for the review I'm talking about.

[Stumperx]

I was one of those people who thought it was complicated to make but I think I could make this now!!!!!!

Thanks.

[OnePotChefShow]

Let me know how it turns out ;)

[staf2010]

It was made by a new zealand chef in Wellington to commemorate anna pavlovas visit in 1926, she also toured in 1929. Your chef did not make his till 1933 - why so slow - plus in 1973 he admitted he took the basis for his from a new zealand cookbook. Our cookbooks are our evidence. It belongs to New Zealand.

It has been documented and named as pavlova in a number of New Zealand cookbooks from that time. There are no cookbooks from australia that predate 1935 so the evidence is clear.

[OnePotChefShow]

Read the video description...BLOCKED

[IanGorton]

@staf2010 As Billy Connolly once said. Both our countries should just get over it and get it into your face.

[cherrylp]

pavlova is the best :D

[GaryRobsi]

A GIANT CAKE SIZE MIRANG!!! AHAHAHA

[baronoli]

Pavlova is like a pet to me.

[saled543210]

You're amazing and please continue to keep your videos going. :)

Empty vessels make most noise, so ignore them. :D

[claytonjaros]

I wrote this down and am going to try it tomorrow. I hope it works.

[claytonjaros]

I'm American. I think you Australians and New Zealanders' word choices to mutilate each other are funny. They are just weird. Words like "porky, and dingo b*stard" ROFL

To the OnePotChef: you rock, and keep making your videos. They are a lot of fun to watch.

[checkyourfacts11]

It was made in New Zealand to commemorate Anna Pavlova plus our recipie books predate yours by 10years.

Not worried about video description - change your text description

[OnePotChefShow]

Apparently you are worried about the description - otherwise you wouldn't be creating account after account just to post more of this nonsense.

BLOCKED.

[skyline777]

pavlova was made in australia by an italian to remember anna pavlova the russian dancer.

[OnePotChefShow]

Please read the video description - the origin of Pavlova debate is officially OVER.

[boriskarloff1960]

Television nz did a small story a few months back under the title - the aussies now want our pavlova.

Some research was done and it was noted that the pavlova recipie appeared in nz cookbooks in 1926 and did not appear in any australian cookbooks until 1935. They noted that this is a recent phenom from our australian cousins and that pavlova was a kiwi creation. Unless your cookbooks can predate 1926 it appears that the pavlova was a new zealand creation.

[OnePotChefShow]

Read the video description. BLOCKED

[lardass2010]

you seem to care as your heading and description leans towards your theiving colony Australia. It is New Zealands national desert, all you ugly theiving effing australians care about is stealing - must be in your genes being a former prison colony. Eff off and remove the australian crap and stop bullshiting fatboy

[OnePotChefShow]

Hmmm I'm fat? Really??? Well done Captain Obvious - perhaps now you can fascinate us all with your discovery that rain is wet...

I wonder how long before this game gets boring???

BLOCKED YET AGAIN!

[OnePotChefShow]

Wow - how many accounts are you going to make before you give this up? It's PAVLOVA - no one cares where it was invented. Stop spamming this video with your nonsense or I will report you to YouTube. BLOCKED.

PS: Pavlova was invented by Azerbaijan in 1976 as a cheap alternative to holy water. I read it on Wikipedia, so it must be true...

[secretjustin]

Thanks for the video :D

[OnePotChefShow]

Your welcome ;)

[frashthat]

WTF PAVLOVA WAS MADE IN NZ!!!!

[OnePotChefShow]

Read the video description.

[sfap2010]

Thieving fat Australian B stard. It belongs to New Zealand. Australians are thieves and liars at the best of times. Remove the effing video porky.

[OnePotChefShow]

Still haven't learned your lesson, have you? Stop creating new accounts just to continue this stupid debate. BLOCKED (again)

[WolfChrome]

@sfap2010

Why the hell does it matter???

Who cares where the bloody hell it comes from???

Its a Dessert!!! Grow up and Get off the internet if little things like this annoy you easily.

[THERANDOMNESS84]

i remember there was a fight about who invented it some dude called you a bitch srry for my language

[xcrazylilfluffyx]

my friends sister had a pavalova wedding cake - no kidding!

[OnePotChefShow]

That sounds awesome - Pavlova wedding cake would be AMAZING!!!

[AdamBuckmaster]

can anyone ask for a better dessert. no. but mum does a better version where you get a big pie base and fill it with a lemon concoction, with lemon zest and stuff like it, then place the pavlova ingredients on as the lid and continue on as normal. God i want one now :(

[OnePotChefShow]

That's a Lemon Meringue Pie - which is also good ;)

[AdamBuckmaster]

thats what its called, forgot :P should have used it to stop all the haters, as truly who gives a s#!t who made it first, as long as we have it :D

[OnePotChefShow]

Absolutely!!!

[stuaussiecu]

Remove Australian

[OnePotChefShow]

I repeat - read the video description. Blocked.

[stuaussiecu]

Lol you have Pharlap, Split Enz, Rebecca Gibney, Russell Crowe and now you want the National Desert of New Zealand. What next the Scottish Haggis

[OnePotChefShow]

Read the video description.

[TrueBlueAustralian]

Is it really Australian ROFL sorry you know i cant help myself

[OnePotChefShow]

LOL You love to stir, don't you Pauly?!?!

[cuttriss360]

Pavlova (Australian Meringue Dessert) - your heading indicates otherwise. Remove the australian and place the correct tag then.

[OnePotChefShow]

I see you missed the point completely...

[MakeupByClarissa]

what the heck.

[cuttriss360]

It appeared in New Zealand cookbooks in the mid 1920's well before it appeared in any australian cookbook. Australians like to steal whats not theirs.

[OnePotChefShow]

Pavlova is well known (and loved) here in Australia. At no point during the video did I say Australia invented anything.

This debate is pointless and really very silly. It's whipped egg whites covered in fruit - quit squabbling over who invented it and eat it!!!

[fReShfHiLo]

search it up on wikipedia its NZ

[OnePotChefShow]

I think you'll find I don't really care. It's made in Australia and New Zealand, so either can say it's theirs. And Wikipedia is hardly a reliable source of information.

This debate is pointless - people who feel the need to continue it are simply getting stressed over nothing. It's pavlova - just eat it and relax!

[cinnamoneyes]

Hey, just wanted to ask. If I piped the meringue into shapes like, say, roses, will it come out right?

[OnePotChefShow]

As long as they have the same basic density and shape (round and thick) then the interior should be more or less the same ;)

[0x0JazJames0x0]

LoftyProduction = Comment Vigilante =) Lol

[LoftyProduction]

@0x0JazJames0x0 you brought it on yourself =p

[austcan519]

only thing you sheep fuckers know is how to smoke a crack pipe or how to go to jail.

[LoftyProduction]

@austcan519 gtfo

[rockcorryman]

thats an IRISH dish you numptys lol

[kingleonidas1097]

u bastard of a chef. how fucking dare you take a new zealand dessert and claim it as australian.

nice pavlova btw.

[sugaplumz2]

@kingleonidas1097 oh calm down you kiwi! It's all good!

[LoftyProduction]

@kingleonidas1097 stfu

[TheNeonAngel]

the chef never claimed that australians invented this so calm down ppl...at the end of the day who cares less...its just a damn cake! its not ppl aussies are claiming they invented the telephone or anything! geez!

[0x0JazJames0x0]

Research indicates that the pavlova was originally from New Zealand. The Australian claim is that it was invented by a Perth chef in 1935; New Zealand claims are based on a recipes in a magazine and a cookery book from 1929 and 1933.

The dessert now known as the pavolva most likely originated in New Zealand, but that the actual name of Pavlova, after Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, was bestowed upon it by a Perth chef.

[OnePotChefShow]

I don't think this debate will ever be resolved. I've heard several versions of that story, although usually its a chef from Melbourne.

The truth may be lost in time...

[0x0JazJames0x0]

I agree =)

Not that it matters who invented it first anyway! Lets just settle this and say its an Australasian dessert lol Sound fair?

Aussie this, kiwi that.... argh why is there so much hating between us? I love australians! I live for home and away =) Am yet to visit your beautiful country but am definately looking forward to it!!!

I tried your 3min choc fudge.... OMG speechless.

I have a new addiction =)

I thank you ( but my thighs wont)

[LoftyProduction]

@0x0JazJames0x0 lol "research indicates it's food, deal with it.

[OnePotChefShow]

Bwahahahahahaha!!! @LoftProduction - awesome comment!!!

[theacleire]

Im Irish and i dont care

GET OVER IT!!!

[GTR34NS]

who cares which country it originated from, miss the aussie sausages!!!

[bigabe187]

mate the kiwis found this dessert you australians took it from us so dont say yous invented it or found it when yous didnt

[xgennixlovex]

That looks so good.

[FamilyGuyGuy99]

New zealanders found pavlova. NOT Australians. new zealand is the source no offence

[OnePotChefShow]

I'm not getting into that fight - but I'm legally required to say Australia invented it LOL

[Doomedlight]

I had Pavlova last night, it's possible the best dessert ever created!

[OnePotChefShow]

It really is awesome - it's sweet, but delicate - it's looks evil, but tastes so darn good!

[9aspengold5]

Have you ever made smaller, individual serving sizes?

[OnePotChefShow]

You can make individual servings, but personally I think it's much better when you make one big one - the "wow" factor really makes this dish sing!!!

[Learning2CooknBake]

How delightful! I'm so excited to try this myself.

[ConnorFlockSpeevage]

I love Pavlova, but it has a funny after taste.

[empireofthesun08]

i'm making it now!! thanks for sharing. hope it turns out as good as yours

[mando71P]

YUMMMY!!!! Looks awesome.

[CableMayo]

wow! delicious! true blue aussie!

[mikeptman]

I'm Canadian so naturally Pavlova is one of those things I had never heard of before, then I saw a recipe on youtube for it and boy did I ever get hooked, such a nice tasting dish, I'll have to give your version a go

[bzglevin]

liar it was made in nz B4 YOU AUZZIES

[OnePotChefShow]

LOL I knew that was going to cause a controversy - but under Australian law I have to say Pavlova is Australian hehehehe!

[NanaNarcotic]

woah you have insane eyes!

thanks for the recipe and vid!

I want to try this myself (· ω ·) /!!

[OnePotChefShow]

Hope you like it ;)

[saumyam1996]

that looked good!! i wonder what it looks like from the inside!

[OnePotChefShow]

The still image at 7:21 shows the inside - nice and soft!

[saumyam1996]

oops i didnt see that! :P
