Ashley Rodriguez, chef, award-winning food author and teacher writes:

“Consider Pavlova. With its crispy outer shell, interior that is reminiscent of marshmallows and limitless serving options, the Pavlova should be near the top of your list for dessert options this Valentine’s Day.”



Pavlova

Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon rose water or orange blossom water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup egg whites (from 3 to 4 large eggs), room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

To serve:

  • Unsweetened whipped cream
  • 2 blood oranges, rind and pith removed, sliced

Directions:

In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites starting on low and increasing the speed slowly to medium. When frothy add the cream of tartar. Beat until the mixture holds soft peaks and the egg white bubbles are very small and uniform, about 2 to 3 minutes.
