Ingredients
- For the pavlova
- 3 free-range egg whites
- 175g caster sugar
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- For the sauce
- 100g granulated sugar
- 30g unsalted butter, cubed
- 60ml single cream
- 1 tsp Halen Môn Pure Sea Salt with Vanilla or Pure Sea Salt Smoked over Oak
- For the topping
- 500ml double cream
- 400g blackberries
- a few sprigs of sage
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160C/gas mark 3. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
- Whisk the egg whites with an electric whisk. When they look nice and airy, add the sugar a teaspoon at a time, along with the cream of tartar. When the mixture is glossy, spread it on to the prepared tray in a rough circle or square, and use the back of a spoon to even it out slightly. Bake for an hour or until the pavlova is crisp and marshmallowy, then allow to cool in the switched-off oven.
- To make the sauce, melt the sugar in a heavy-bottomed pan over a medium heat, stirring occasionally. Keep an eye on the pan and when you have a light-gold liquid, whisk in the butter as quickly as you can. Remove from the heat, whisk in the cream and add the salt. Allow to cool slightly.
- To serve, whisk the double cream to stiff peaks and spread it on the pavlova. Tumble over the blackberries and drizzle over the salted-caramel sauce. Finish with a few sprigs of sage.
