Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 150°C/Gas 2. On a baking paper, draw around your serving plate in pencil to mark the shape for your meringue
  2. Using a hand-held mixer, whisk the egg whites together until they form stiff peaks. Then add maple sugar a tablespoon at a time until the appearance is glossy and smooth
  3. Whisk in the vinegar, cornflour and vanilla extract. Pour the mixture onto the baking paper and keep within the drawn circle
  4. Spread out using a palette knife creating a dip in the centre. Keep sides slightly higher than the middle
  5. Transfer onto a tray and bake in the oven for 1 hour
  6. Turn off the heat and allow the meringue to completely cool whilst in the oven. For additional layers, repeat the process
  7. Once all the meringue layers have thoroughly cooled, whisk together the cream and maple syrup in a bowl to form soft peaks and spread between each layer of meringue topped with a mixture of prepared fruits and drizzled with maple syrup

An exquisite berry pavlova to serve all through summer, naturally sweetened with seasonal fruits and Canadian maple syrup. With a sweet, crunchy outside and a soft, chewy inside, this meringue cake is a truly irresistible treat.

More about maple

The colour and flavour of maple syrup changes in subtle ways during the seasonal harvest

At the start of the sugaring season, the syrup is generally clear, with a light, sweet taste. It becomes darker with a caramelised flavour as the season progresses throughout the spring.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Maple spread doesn't contain any butter or dairy products

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple spread comes from the sap of the maple tree that’s all.
