(ARA) – Ever fantasize about being a supreme kitchen goddess? Dream about being known as a dessert diva but you’re not a pro in the know? These sweet and elegant recipes make it easy: Fresh Apricot and Cherry Pavlovas and Mixed Fresh Fruit Tart. Made with juicy fresh fruit from Chile, they’re bursting with the vibrant colors and flavors of luscious apricots, cherries, berries, and nectarines — the ticket to success for any culinary star.
8 fresh apricots (about 1 pound), pitted and sliced
Apricot preserves
1 tablespoon orange juice or rum
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. To make 6 individual Pavlovas (meringues) line 2 large baking sheets with foil or parchment paper.
In a bowl of an electric mixer, combine egg whites, cream of tartar, salt and almond extract; beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar; beat until whites are stiff and glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes.
With a spoon, spread meringue into 6 (4-inch) circles on baking sheets. With the back of a spoon, make a depression in the center of each meringue to form a "nest" with about a 1-inch high edge. (If desired, a pastry bag may be used to pipe meringues).
Bake for 2 hours; turn off oven and leave meringues in oven until dry, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, melt ½ cup of the chips following package directions. Dip cherries halfway into chocolate; place on aluminum-foil lined baking pan; refrigerate until ready to use.
In a microwave, melt remaining ½ cup chips with 3 tablespoons cream; mix well.
In a medium bowl, beat remaining ½ cup cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the melted chip and cream mixture.
Remove Pavlovas from foil. Divide cream mixture among Pavlovas; arrange apricots over cream.
Melt and strain enough preserves to make ¼ cup; stir in juice; brush over apricots.
Serve with chocolate-dipped cherries. If desired, serve with additional strained apricot preserves.
Notes
To make one large Pavlova, line 1 baking sheet with foil or parchment. Spread meringue into a 9-inch circle.
