Figs figs figs!! 

Finally we managed to grab some fresh figs here in Chiang Mai. Trust me I have been waiting for this moment which happens only once in a year! 

If you remember, last year I came up with figs recipe ‘figs tart with custard cream or ice cream of your choice’. Well it was dead easy, you could perhaps look back and give it a try :) 

Anyway, since figs this season look much more juicier than last year. I’m planning to have them fresh, however, first of all I need the base to place them on. So, let’s sweenten up our rainy days with fresh figs & berries pavlova!!

Things to prepare:

- Fresh figs

- Fresh bluberries & berries

- Egg white x 4

- White Sugar x 1 1/4 cups

- Lime juice x 1 tsp

- Vanilla extract x 1 tsp

- Corn Starch x 2 tsps

- Whipping cream x 1 cup

How to:

1.Preheat oven to 150 C. 

2. Beat egg white  until soft peaks form, gently add white sugar, lime juice, vanilla extract and corn starch while beating.

3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper with 9-inch circle in the middle. Spoon mixture from the center inside the circle and spread toward the edge. 

4. Bake for 1 hour. Then leave to cool on a wire rack.

5.Beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form and set aside. 

6.Fill the center of the meringue with whipped cream, and top with fresh figs slices and berries.

*you can add sauce to suit your personal preferences.
