Individal Dairy Free Pavlovas
- 1 cup Egg Whites (about 5-6 Large Eggs)
- 1- 1/2 cup White Sugar
- 1- 1/2 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 package (3.4 Oz. Package) Instant Vanilla Pudding
- 1 can (14 Oz. Can) Coconut Milk
- Fresh Fruit, To Serve
- For the pavlovas:
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cornstarch.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees .
- Start beating the egg whites in a large bowl or mixer over high speed.
- As soon as they are foamy, pour in the vinegar.
- Slowly start adding the sugar mixture while the eggs are beating.
- As soon as it starts to turn white, add the vanilla.
- Let the mixture beat on high for at least 3 minutes.
- As soon as the peaks are glossy and very stiff, you are ready.
- Use a cookie sheet that is nonstick or a parchment-lined sheet.
- I like to use a decorating bag and add the meringue.
- Then make 3-inch discs on the cookie sheet and then form walls on top around the edge of the discs.
- You could also make a nice tall mound and use the back of the spoon to form a dent in the middle.
- As long as it will hold stuff, it will look pretty.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about an hour and a half.
- They will be very dry and hard to the touch.
- If they arent starting to brown, turn the oven off and leave them in to cool with the oven.
- If they are are turning brown, remove them from the oven to cool.
- (On a side note, it is not a good idea to make these on a humid day.
- One time mine become very sticky and gooey upon removal from the oven.
- If it is not humid, this stores very well for at least a week.)
- For the topping:
- Follow the directions on the package of the pudding using the pie directions, but substitute coconut milk for regular milk.
- Put it all together:
- Just before serving, spoon the pudding mixture into the center of the mini pavlovas.
- Add any fruit you have over the top and serve immediately.
