A playful and colorful dessert combining the crisp pavlova shell with whipped cream and crunchy fairy bread crumbs topped with rainbow sprinkles. Perfect for parties and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1 cup (200 g) caster sugar
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream (chilled)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (about 70 g) rainbow sprinkles (hundreds and thousands)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Whisk egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form (2-3 minutes). Gradually add caster sugar one tablespoon at a time while whisking on high speed until glossy and stiff peaks form (7-10 minutes).
  2. Gently fold in vinegar and cornstarch with a spatula. Spoon meringue onto lined baking sheet in an 8-inch (20 cm) round shape with a slight well in the center. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  3. Turn off oven and leave meringue inside to cool completely, ideally overnight.
  4. Remove crusts from bread slices, spread thin layer of softened butter, sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles. Toast at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until crisp but not browned. Cool and crumble into small pieces.
  5. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.
  6. Spoon whipped cream into the center of the cooled pavlova base and spread gently.
  7. Scatter fairy bread crumbs generously over the cream, ensuring colorful sprinkles in every bite.
  8. Serve immediately for best texture. If storing, keep pavlova base in airtight container up to 3 days at room temperature and add crumbs just before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature egg whites for better whipping. Add fairy bread crumbs just before serving to keep them crunchy. Pavlova base can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and butter with dairy-free alternative. Gluten-free bread can be used but texture may vary.
