What a fabulous recipe!! First time making a pavlova and it was a hit! I have a small gas oven, so I had it on Gas 2 for an hour and then turned off and left in the oven overnight as you suggested. Great tip as it was hard on the outside but marshmallowy on the inside. It did crack (quite fragile) but once you dollop the cream on and arrange the berries it doesn’t matter. Will definitely do again! x

I don’t have any caster sugar and we’re miles from a shop. Can I use icing sugar?

This looks lovely and intend to make over Easter but could the ingredients be halved to make a smaller wreath? What’s your thoughts please? Thank you ❤️

In reply to Tan. This can either be that you didn't whisk the egg whites enough before adding the sugar, or there was something in the egg whites such as some yolk which contaminated it x

In reply to Annita. Ooh no! I'm unsure what brands say that or not, but if you're worried then use fresh egg whites!

I decided to use eggs whites in a carton as you suggested but the label stated not to be used for meringues. Is there a brand you can suggest.

In reply to Alison. Hiya! Unfortunately we do not have a gas oven at Jane's Patisserie so are unable to test it - so sorry to hear you had trouble, hope they ended up tasty anyway! x

Really disappointed! I got a great meringue mix, lots of it, piped the ring and did another tray with some meringue baskets too. They’re still in the oven and they’re already turning brown. I have a gas oven and converted your temps, which came out at Gas Mark 2, which obviously is too high. Turned the oven right down to a quarter and just hope they bake through without catching anymore 🙁
