Ingredients
  

  • PAVLOVA'S:
  • 4 egg whites room temperature
  • 1 and 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp cream of tarter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • WHIPPED CREAM:
  • 2 and 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 Tbsp confectioners sugar
  • 2 Tbsp orange zest
  • GARNISH:
  • Box of ribbon candy only use the fruit flavored and cinnamon ones

Instructions
 

  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • Position oven rack to lower third of the oven.
  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Trace 3 inch circles on the parchment and then flip the parchment over so pencil/pen does not get on meringue, you will still see the circles through the paper.
  • Whip with whisk attachment the egg whites until glossy.
  • While still whipping slowly add in the sugar 1 Tbsp at a time.
  • Continue whipping until stiff glossy peaks form.
  • Sprinkle in the vinegar, cream of tarter and vanilla over the meringue mixture, fold into mixture until well combine.
  • Spoon mixture onto parchment into each circle, use back of spoon or offset spatula to smooth out and put a slight indentation in the center for the whip later.
  • Bake for 35 min, until dry to the touch but not brown. Turn off oven, DO NOT OPEN OVEN, leave to cool in the oven for 60 minutes.
  • Bring out of oven to complete cooling.
  • WHIPPED CREAM:
  • Add whipping cream and sugar to mixing bowl, whip with whisk attachment until whipped cream forms.
  • Add the orange zest, mix until combined.
  • ASSEMBLY:
  • Gently (meringues are fragile) loosen meringues from parchment.
  • Dollop a spoonful of whip on each one and garnish with ribbon candy or as desired.
  • Keep in cool place until ready to serve.

Notes

Meringues are highly fragile, keep that in mind when loosening from parchment, putting on the whip/garnish as well as moving them.
The ribbon candy box I have has fruit, cinnamon and peppermint flavored ribbons. For these pavlovas I avoided the peppermint ribbons, it wouldn't pair well with orange.
