Pavlova - what to do with the egg yolks?

[Whenismumhome]

I want to try making a pavlova sometime soon for the first time - I hope it doesn’t go disastrously wrong.

Anyway, I’m kind of hesitant to do it though as I don’t want to waste all those egg yolks - what can you do with them?

lemon curd!

Lemon tart

Doubling the weight of whites with caster sugar, mixing two heaped cornflour with some lemon juice to make a pouring paste, gives me a perfect marshmallow pavlova, with a crunchy outside.

Heating the tray to very hot prevents a leaking bottom.

I'd make a pavlova using an Australian recipe (containing cornflower and vinegar/cream of tartar)
With the yolks I'd make passionfruit curd to fill the pav, before decorating with more passionfruit and other fruit and lots of whipped cream.

So simple but bloody gorgeous

Ooo thank you!

Really grateful for the meringue tips, thank you everybody

This thread makes me very happy.

Creme caramel! It was a standard joke among Aussie and Kiwi friends, that where there was a pavlova, there would be a Creme caramel.
