Christmas is approaching, and the app I often use to order flowers has launched a Christmas-themed set in time for the festival. I have always been keen on celebrating this holiday, so I will never miss it. The rattan garland wrapped with fresh pines and cypresses is decorated with red Ribbons, pine cones, and cinnamon branches, although they are indeed beautiful, the price of several hundred is really low value for money.
You also want a Christmas wreath, but the simulated texture is unacceptable, and you don’t want to pay the high price of a one-time real wreath? Then why not DIY one yourself with egg whites! Based on Pavlova protein cake, Paired with whipped cream and red fruits, and finally garnished with green leaves, it is full of Christmas flavor and is also the perfect snack for holiday banquets.
To make a Pavlova Christmas wreath, you will need:
6 egg whites
200g caster sugar (either white sugar or brown sugar)
1 tsp white vinegar
600ml whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Strawberries and other red fruits you like (for decoration, it is recommended to mainly use red)
Production steps:
1. Apply white vinegar evenly into the egg-beating bowl used to beat egg whites later, just a thin layer (except for the ingredients list), then pour in the egg whites, beat at low speed until dense foam appears, then change to medium speed , continue to beat until the egg whites can lift into sharp peaks.
2. Add sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, and stir for about 20-30 seconds until completely combined before adding another tablespoon. After all the sugar has been added, pour in the white vinegar and continue beating for another 20 seconds until it is completely combined. Then scrape off the surrounding egg whites and finally beat again at medium-high speed until the meringue becomes thick and will not fall when you turn it upside down. Drop it, and the effect will be as shown in the picture above.
3. Take a little meringue, spread it on the 4 corners of the flat baking pan, and then cover it with baking paper. Then print a circle about 20cm in diameter in the center of the baking paper.
4. Scoop out a large spoonful of meringue and arrange it in a wreath shape around the circle in step 3.
5. Use a butter knife or spatula to lightly smooth the top of the egg white wreath. This wreath will serve as the base when assembled.
6. Take another baking pan and repeat steps 3-4 to make another egg white wreath. The double-layered effect will look fuller.
7. Put it in the oven that has been preheated to 150 degrees Celsius and bake for about 30 minutes (if the oven capacity is not large, it is best to bake the two plates in two times to allow for more even heating). After baking, open the oven door halfway. , let the egg white garland cool naturally in the oven before taking it out.
8. Wash the fruits for decoration and drain them, orPrint dry on kitchen paper.
9. Add vanilla extract and two tablespoons of sugar to the heavy cream and beat until you can pull out a sharp hook by lifting the egg beater, then apply it on the bottom layer of the garland.
10. Layer a layer of sliced ??strawberries.
11. Cover the top layer of egg white garland, apply another layer of whipped cream, and then place other fruits on top.
12. It is recommended that the decorative fresh fruits on the top layer be kept intact to a certain extent, so that the visual effect will be more beautiful.
