Method

1. Remember to place your coconut cream in the fridge the day before you want to serve your pavlova.
2. Make sure all the equipment you’re using is clean and oil-free.
3. Preheat the oven to 100°C and line your baking tray with baking paper.
4. Place OGGS Aquafaba in a big bowl and start whisking it with a hand mixer on a medium speed until it starts to form.
5. One tablespoon at a time, start adding the icing sugar and continue mixing. Your meringue mix needs to be firm and glossy. Add lemon juice and keep whisking until combined.
6. Spread the meringue on a baking tray creating a circle shape, make a crater by making the sides a little higher than the middle. Place in the oven and bake for 2 hours.
7. After 2 hours, turn off the oven and leave the meringue inside for another hour. Chill.
8. In the meantime, make your whipped cream. Remove your chilled coconut cream from the fridge and place it in a big bowl. Start mixing it with a mixer until you reach desired consistency. Add 2tbsp Icing Sugar and mix well.
9.  Spread your whipped coconut cream over the meringue. Top it with your favourite fresh or freeze-dried fruits, sprinkle with some chocolate shavings and enjoy!
