•
8 figs

½ tsp. ground cinnamon

METHOD
1. Start by making the meringue, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, then add the
sugar a little at a time until it is completely incorporated, add the salt and cornflour and
continue to whisk until the mixture is glossy.
2. Place a sheet of greaseproof paper onto a large baking tray and spread the meringue out to
the size of an A4 sheet of paper and try and make the sides taller than the middle which
should have a slight dip. Bake in a low oven 130°C/ gas ½ for 1 ½ hours until crisp. Then
remove from the oven and cool. If you are making this the day before turn the oven off and
allow to cool in the oven.
3. Turn the oven up to 180°C/ Gas 8. Slice the figs into quarters. Butter an ovenproof dish
generously, and place the figs into the dish. Sprinkle the sugar and ground cinnamon over the
figs and drizzle over the stem ginger syrup. Place the star anise in between the figs then
squeeze over the juice of half the orange. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the figs have
softened and the juice is bubbling. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
4. To make the ginger cream, beat the double cream until it forms soft peaks, add the
mascarpone, steam ginger syrup and chopped steam ginger and stir it through. Chill until you
are ready to assemble.
5. Carefully remove the Pavlova from the greaseproof paper onto a suitable serving dish. Pile the
cream and spread it over the Pavlova. Arrange the figs over the top and drizzle any juice from
the figs, finish with a scattering of orange zest.
