Summer Berry Pavlova + Rose & Raspberry Syrup and NEW VANILLE MAGAZINE is out!

Announcing the third issue of Vanille Magazine! The Spanish version is out and is filled with all lovely Spring and Summer dessert recipes. There's also a section dedicated to cold treats. As we all know, what can be more perfect to cool off a sweaty hot sunny day with a scoop of ice-cream of sorbet? That's not all. This issue also focuses on on of our all time favourite special ingredient. The Vanilla Bean. So, be sure to hop on over to check it out or try out the recipes or like what I always find joy in doing; feasting with the eyes. To celebrate this issue I baked A SUMMER BERRY PAVLOVA served with ROSE & RASPBERRY SYRUP.

Baking Recipe: Lemon Curd Pavlova Tart

Okay, I think it's time for the lemon meringue tart to have a make over, not that I don't like the classic version. Whenever I host cookouts or dinner parties, my friends would always have 1 similar request." Jo, when can you make your lemon tart, or lemon meringue tart?" Sadly all these were not captured, recorded and blog about. After all, I only started my blog last year August ;).

This time round, I thought of making the tart a little more interesting. I will fill it with soft velvety lemony lemon curd with lots of zing, and balance it of with the sweetness of pavlova. Not to mention it adds a whole new dimension and texture. Buttery soft crunchy crust, with zesty and zingy smooth lemon curd filling which is topped off with light fluffy mid-crunchy pavlova. I think it works, after all the elements are still a base of a lemon meringue tart. Instead or torching the meringue or baking it in the oven, you get a ready baked pavlova...Very much like 2 desserts in 1.

A new twist to my very own all time favourite tart. Have a great weekend!!
