Mother’s Day Pavlova + Honey

By Matteo Michelizzi on May 3, 2022
A meringue shell topped with whipped cream, fruits and a drizzle of honey

A few weeks ago, as I noticed the snow melting and what it looked like the end of the winter, I started to think about a recipe that can work for spring and Mother’s Day too. Sadly, as I write this post, the outside temperature dropped to +5 degrees with a serious possibility of seeing a few flurries in the morning. Never mind, spring or not, it will be Mother’s day anyways. Today I want to show you how to make one of my favorite desserts: Pavlova.

Altough, this recipe requires a few hours of waiting, I can guarantee it is easy to make and quite entertaining for children when it is time to decorate! For this recipe, I decided to use kiwis, passion fruits and a drizzle of honey, of course. I also decided to use chickpea water, known as aquafaba, to make the meringue since I had some saved in the fridge. If you wish, you can easily replace aquafaba with eggwhites.

What I love about this recipe is the fact that it can always taste and look different depending on the season and the fruits you decide to use. It is perfect for every occasion throughout the year! Let’s take a look at the ingredients now, shall we?

Ingredients for a 26-28 cm Pavlova:

  • 150 gr of aquafaba at room temperature (or eggwhites for a non-vegan version)
  • 300 gr of sugar (sugar is always 2 times more than the amount of aquafaba or eggwhites)
  • 1 tsp of white vinegar
  • 1 tsp of baking powder
  • 20 gr of potato or corn starch
  • 350 gr of lemon marmelade (or lemon curd for a non-vegan version)
  • 200 gr of whippable creamy oat (or heavy cream for non-vegan)
  • 100 gr of sugar (extra)
  • 2-3 kiwis
  • 2-3 passion fruits
  • Honey of your choice
Method:

Preheat the oven to 150 degrees celsius.

Whisk the aquafaba with a hand mixer or a kneading machine with a whisk, until they form stiff peaks, then whisk in 300 gr sugar, 1 t bsp at a time, until the meringue looks glossy.

Whisk in the vinegar, the corn or potato starch, and the baking powder.

Spread the maringue on a baking tray by making sure it has a circle shape. The sides should be bit higher than the middle.

Place the meringue in the oven and lower the temperature to 100 degrees. Now bake for 2 hours or until the cake is dry to the touch. If you are using eggwhites it might take less time than 2 hours. Your meringue is ready when it does not stick to the baking tray. It is totaly fine if it cracks a little.

Let the meringue cool down inside the oven with the door open. It might take a few hours before it is completely ready.

Someone just could not resist and wanted to eat the meringue as it was.

Whisk 200 gr of heavy cream (2 dl) with 100 gr of sugar and set aside for a moment.

Now, take the merengue which has cooled down and spread the lemon marmelade on top. Add the whipped cream on top.

I had some lemon curd in my pantry but you can use a marmelade or jam of your choice
I used Planti’s whippable cream

Cut the kiwis and the passion fruits (or any fruits of your choice) and decorate your Pavlova. Drizzle with some honey and serve!

A drizzle of honey is the final touch for my Pavlova. Feel free to change the fruits you want to add on top. Berries are a great alternative too!

This recipe is to all mothers and mothers-to-be! Happy Mother’s Day and thank you! – Matteo

      Spring is on its way. How exciting! 🌷😁 Howev Spring is on its way. How exciting! 🌷😁
However, this is the time of the year when it is easy to get sick, because of the continuous fluctuations in temperature. 

Have you ever tried the old grandma honey trick? Honey is not actually a cure for cough or cold 🤧, but several research demonstrates that one spoon of honey before bedtime, alone or with lemon, brings relief as much if not more than cough medicines. Plus it is natural and delicious, so it can’t hurt to try! 😊

      Some weeks back, we talked about some of our favou Some weeks back, we talked about some of our favourite cheese options to pair with honey for your cheeseboards.  Let's dive in deeper today with the various ways to enjoy honey! 🐝🍯🧀

1. Honey and yogurt: 
Honey and yogurt provides many nutrients, vitamins, lactobacteria and omega-3 fats. Add honey to Greek yogurt and walnuts to gain a more nutritious snack! 

2. Honey + porridge:
Porridge is an absolute must for breakfast in Finland and many other countries. Enjoy this classic breakfast with berries and a drizzle of honey for a strong start to your mornings!

3. Honey + hot beverages + smoothies:
Replacing sugar with honey for sweetening hot beverages is a classic. But remember, honey can be used to sweeten smoothies as well. Here is an idea: blend some yogurt with 1 avocado, 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger. 

Honey is quite versatile and its purposes are endless. Let's remember the little guys that work so hard to make them. Help us give the bees a sustainable environment by adopting a hive today!

Buying common honey from the supermarket is easier and more tempting. However, local honey is a tastier and healthier choice. 
👉 Local honey contains local pollen, which will strengthen your immune system. 
👉 Finnish honey is also traceable. You can trust your local beekeeper about the way honey is harvested and processed 🍯❤️💛

      It is interesting to read that honey had been used It is interesting to read that honey had been used since ancient times, to heal wounds. Of course, modern wound-healing remedies were not an option 👩‍⚕️🍯 

As a matter of fact, honey has antibacterial properties and a specific acidic pH level which boosts oxygen release (important in the healing process). Also, honey contains only a small amount of water, which is one of the conditions the bacteria need to grow and multiply.

👉 However, wounds are always different and it is good to treat them properly, as honey can not replace other modern wound healers. Lastly, the honey used by practitioners is medical-grade honey, which is sterilized and does not contain additives.

Worker honeybees are incredible hardworking creatures. In their short lifespan (40-60 days if born in summer) they complete many tasks, depending on their age.
👉 only in the last phase, they finally leave the hive to accomplish the job of foraging 🌷🐝
👉 a worker bee will produce in her life an average of 1/12 teaspoon of honey but for that, she will visit a huge amount of flowers 😮😮
Maybe next time we taste a spoon of honey we will remember to appreciate small accomplishments and the hard work we put into them 🥰
Have a nice weekend all 👋
