Strawberry Pavlova

Strawberry Pavlova

 

Making creme fraiche is very easy and, once you taste the magic of homemade sour cream, you’ll have a hard time not repeating this esoteric exercise. Sure it takes a couple days, but the effort is minimal and the payoff is marvelous.

Ingredients

  • 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 pound strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup crème fraîche*

Instructions:

  1. Heat oven to 225° F. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium in a large bowl until foamy, about 1 minute. Add the cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form, about 1 minute more. Slowly add ¾ cup of the sugar. Increase mixer speed to medium-high and continue to beat until the meringue is glossy and stiff peaks form, 4 to 6 minutes more.
  2. Spread the meringue in a 10-inch circle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake on the bottom rack until firm and dry, 2½ to 3 hours. Turn the oven off and let the meringue cool in the oven, 1½ to 2 hours (or overnight).
  3. Toss the strawberries, lemon zest, a pinch of salt, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar in a bowl. Let sit, stirring occasionally, until the berries are juicy, 20 to 30 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the cream and crème fraîche until soft peaks form.
  5. Top the meringue with the cream, followed by the berries.
