Last week I decided that I wanted to make a Pavlova to take to our friends on Saturday. So, after a long day at the office, not to mention doing the grocery shop and then having dinner (10 pm), I decide that the kitchen was clean and tidy to start making the dessert.
Well after an hour and a half of mixing caster sugar, cream of tartar and egg whites - I finally had stiff peaks and we even did the test of turning the mixing bowel upside just to make sure it held - safe to say that it did not fall on to the kitchen floor!
As you have to cook the pavlova at low heat for about 2 and half hours, we decided we wouldn't risk falling asleep and spent the evening watching rubbish on tv - waiting in anticipation for my first attempt to be ready!
Finally after a lot of anticipation, my pavlova was done and from what we saw, it looked amazing - I, in fact, made two in case one was a flop!
Luckily both looked perfect - but I have to admit that once the buzzer on the cooker went, my husband and I were both very relieved to know that we could go to bed!!!
Yes - my first attempt is my profile pic and it was very delicious x
