Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 5 min.
Place a sheet of cooking parchment (or a silicon sheet) on a baking sheet and stand a dessert ring 24 cm (10 inches ) in diameter on top.
Melt 10 g butter and brush this over the "base" inside the ring.
Melt 10 g butter and brush this over the "base" inside the ring.
Stage 2 - 3 min.
Sprinkle caster sugar over the melted butter.
Stage 3 - 5 min.
Do the same for the inside surface of the ring: brush with melted butter, then coat with caster sugar.
Stage 4
Put the ring back into place.
This will give us a meringue that is lightly caramelized on the outside.
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

Stage 5 - 5 min.
Stage 6 - 3 min.
Pipe a spiral to cover the base inside the ring using a forcing bag.
Stage 7 - 3 min.
Then pipe a circle around the edge to form the side of the pavlova.
Stage 8 - 45 min.
Bake in the oven for around 45 minutes. Ideally, the meringue should be crisp on the outside and still soft in the centre.
Stage 9 - 15 min.
Meanwhile, peel 4 kiwis and dice small.
Stage 10 - 15 min.
Stage 11 - 5 min.
Mix the diced fruit together, add 4 tablespoons Sugar syrup and the juice of ½ lime. Mix well.
Set aside.
Set aside.
Stage 12 - 30 min.
Take the meringue out of the oven as soon as it is ready and leave to cool (this is important, otherwise it is likely to break).
Stage 13 - 5 min.
Slip a knife all around the inside of the ring.
Stage 14 - 5 min.
Remove the ring and stand the pavlova on the serving plate.
Stage 15 - 5 min.
Assemble the pavlova: spread a layer of cream in the meringue shell.
Stage 16 - 5 min.
Top with the diced fruit.
Serve immediately.

Remarks
The name "pavlova" came from the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, for whom the dessert was invented - another artistic muse, like for peach melba.
A pavlova must be served straight away, as the fruit will soon moisten the meringue and make it go soft.
Use fruit in season (kiwi, pineapple and bananas as as I write). You can achieve excellent results with a mix of soft fruit, combining red (red currants, strawberries, raspberries) and black (blackberries, blackcurrants).
But to "render unto Caesar", as they say, I admit to having pinched the excellent idea of caramelizing the meringue from Christophe Michalak.
