Pavlova With Fresh Berries - 8g Carbs
When I made a Pavolva for my parents I substituted fat free cream
cheese for the whipped cream since my mother cannot eat "Cool Whip"
I whipped the softened cream cheese with a small amount of reduced
fat (or fat free) milk and used this instead… it was a bit hit
with a variety of berries on top!! Enjoy, Gloria
Pavlova With Fresh Berries - 8g Carbs
From The South Beach Diet Phase 3
Makes 8 Servings
Pavlova, an airy meringue covered with berries and whipped topping,
makes a glorious dessert for a special occasion. Don’t worry about
making the surface of the meringue smooth; the dips and swirls are
what make it so beautiful. Use strawberries, blueberries, or
raspberries — or a combination of all three!
5 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
11/4 cups Splenda or sugar substitute
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup fat-free whipped topping
1 cup fresh berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, and/or raspberries
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer on
medium-high, until whites are firm, but not dry. Continue beating,
adding sugar substitute, 1/4 cup at a time; beat about 10 seconds
after each addition. Add vanilla and continue beating, 1 to 2
minutes, until mixture is glossy and stiff.
Scoop meringue onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a large rubber
spatula, spread meringue into a 6-inch round, building the sides and
creating a slight depression in the center; place in oven and reduce
heat to 250 degrees F. Bake, without opening oven door, 45 minutes,
until firm to the touch and lightly golden.
4. Turn off oven; open door and let cool in the oven, 30 minutes.
Remove from oven; cool completely on wire rack. Use a large metal
spatula to transfer meringue to serving platter. Fill center of
meringue with whipped topping and berries.
