Wattleseed Pavlova

• 7 egg whites
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon corn flour
• 11/4 cups castor sugar
• 300ml whipped cream
• 2 tablespoons Wattleseed extract*
• 1/2 cup crumbed Dick Smith Foods' Bushfood Breakfast cereal or biscuit crumbs
• strawberry jam
• juice of 1 lemon
• 1/4 teaspoon Fruit Spice*
• (* Can be found at: www.dining-downunder.com/shop )

1. 1. Add the Wattleseed extract to the cream and whip this to stiff peaks; this can and is best done the day before to allow the full flavour to develop; taste and add more extract if you want a stronger flavour
2. 2. whip the egg whites to soft peaks; add the sugar and lemon juice slowly until stiff peaks form
3. 3. line a baking tray with baking paper to cover an area the width of the baking paper and 11/4 times the length
4. 4. spread the pavlova mix over the baking paper in a rectangular shape to a depth of 2cm
5. 5. bake at 150u0b0C for 10 to 15 minutes or until firm and nearly touch dry but not browned; it should look like soft meringue at this stage
6. 6. remove from the oven and slide it off the tray to stop it cooking on; sprinkle the top with the crumbed breakfast cereal evenly coating the surface.
7. 7. flip the meringue over, seasoned side down, onto a clean tea towel and remove the baking paper carefully; if it sticks, place a wet towel which has been heated in a microwave (or soaked with really hot water) on to the baking paper for 30 seconds; try peeling the paper away again and it should come away cleanly
8. 8. spread the Wattle cream evenly over the meringue to a thickness of around 1cm or 1/2 an inch
9. 9. roll up the pavlova using the long edge of the towel; cut the ends on an angle (good cooks will selflessly taste-test the trimmings)
10. 10. before removing the towel completely, lift the pavlova onto a platter and roll the pavlova off the towel
11. Styling
12. Serve with a sour fruit coulis, for example, a berry jam mixed with enough lemon juice to taste tart and to pour like a thick sauce. I'd add a pinch of Fruit Spice to this sauce as well to enhance the fruitiness.
