Australian Wattleseed Pavlova

Ingredients

1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon corn flour
300 milliliters whipped cream
2 tablespoons Wattleseed extract*
1/2 cup crumbed Dick Smith Foods’ Bushfood Breakfast cereal or biscu
1/4 teaspoon Fruit Spice*
(* Can be found at: www.dining-downunder.com/shop)

Preparation

1
Add the Wattleseed extract to the cream and whip this to stiff peaks; this can and is best done the day before to allow the full flavour to develop; taste and add more extract if you want a stronger flavour.
2
Whip the egg whites to soft peaks; add the sugar and lemon juice slowly until stiff peaks form.
3
Line a baking tray with baking paper to cover an area the width of the baking paper and 1¼ times the length.
4
Spread the pavlova mix over the baking paper in a rectangular shape to a depth of 2cm.
5
Bake at 150°C for 10 to 15 minutes or until firm and nearly touch dry but not browned; it should look like soft meringue at this stage.
6
Remove from the oven and slide it off the tray to stop it cooking on; sprinkle the top with the crumbed breakfast cereal evenly coating the surface.
7
Flip the meringue over, seasoned side down, onto a clean tea towel and remove the baking paper carefully; if it sticks, place a wet towel which has been heated in a microwave (or soaked with really hot water) on to the baking paper for 30 seconds; try peeling the paper away again and it should come away cleanly.
8
Spread the Wattle cream evenly over the meringue to a thickness of around 1cm or ½ an inch.
9
Roll up the pavlova using the long edge of the towel; cut the ends on an angle (good cooks will selflessly taste-test the trimmings).
10
Before removing the towel completely, lift the pavlova onto a platter and roll the pavlova off the towel.
