Ingredients
Meringue
- 6 egg whites
- 1 cup (8 oz) glucose syrup
- 1/2 tsp ground vanilla beans (or 1 tsp of 100% vanilla extract)
Topping
- 3 cups (24 oz) coconut milk, chilled
- 1/2 tsp ground vanilla beans (or 2 tsp 100% vanilla extract)
- 2 cups strawberries, halved
- 2 cups blueberries
- 4 passionfruit
Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 250F. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the egg whites in a very large bowl. Make sure it is very clean as any grease will prevent the egg whites from stiffening. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Slowly mix in the liquid glucose until fully incorporated and the mixture is glossy. Mix in the ground vanilla.
- Spoon onto your sheet in a circle or rectangle shape. Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes or until the outside is dry but there is soft meringue on the inside. Turn the heat off and cool in the oven with the door ajar.
- To make the filling, scoop the solidified coconut milk out of the can and into a bowl. Discard the watery liquid at the bottom of the can. Add the ground vanilla, then beat until stiff peaks form.
- To assemble just before serving, place the meringue on a platter. Top with some whipped coconut cream. Lay strawberry halves and blueberries evenly over the top. Drizzle passionfruit pulp over the meringue. Serve immediately.

Can you use maple syrup, honey or monk fruit sugar instead of glucose syrup?
Hi Lisa
I follow the Bi Phasic Diet which doesn’t allow maple syrup or monk fruit sugar, so I haven’t tested my pavlova recipe with those sugar alternatives. I have made a pavlova with honey before – it’s not quite the same texture but you will still be able to create a meringue with it. If you try it with maple syrup or monk fruit sweetener, let me know how it turns out.
