Rosewater mini pavlova filled with clotted cream & raspberries

Use whatever fruit is in season - raspberries, strawberries, blackberries - and indulge in this delicious fruity pavlova

• Preparation: 10 mins
• Cooking: 150 mins
• Serves: 6

What you need:

• 6 medium egg whites
• 330g golden caster sugar
• a few drops rosewater
• a few drops pink food colouring
• 227g tub Rodda's Cornish Clotted Cream
• 200g raspberries

What you do:

1. Preheat the oven to 120°C/ fan oven 100°C, gas  250°F.
2. Line two baking sheets with greaseproof paper.
3. Place the egg whites into a clean dry bowl, whisk until they form stiff peaks. Whisk in the caster sugar, a spoonful at a time, whisking well and at a high speed between each addition. Fold in a few drops rosewater and pink food colouring.
4. Drop 6 large dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, making a little well in the middle of each.
5. Bake in the oven for 2 hours, then turn off and leave in the warm oven for a further hour before removing. Allow to cool.
6. Spoon a dollop of Cornish clotted cream on top of each meringue and top with a handful of raspberries. Dust with icing sugar and serve.

Cook's tip:

Omit the rosewater and pink colouring and add cocoa powder to the mixture for a chocolate version. Or, of course, you could omit all flavourings and simply serve in the traditional way with clotted cream and strawberries.

Cooked meringues will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
