Ingredients for Keto Raspberry Pavlova Guilt
Gather these items:
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered erythritol (for sweetening cream)
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
How to Make Keto Raspberry Pavlova Guilt Step-by-Step
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw a 9-inch circle on the parchment as a guide for the pavlova.
- Step 2: In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
- Step 3: Gradually add the granulated erythritol, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed until the mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Step 4: Gently fold in the vanilla extract and lemon juice.
- Step 5: Spoon the meringue mixture onto the prepared parchment paper, using the circle as a guide. Create a slight dip in the center to hold the cream and raspberries.
- Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. After baking, turn off the oven and leave the pavlova inside to cool completely for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to prevent cracking.
- Step 7: Once cooled, whip the heavy cream with the powdered erythritol until soft peaks form.
- Step 8: Carefully transfer the pavlova to a serving platter. Spread the whipped cream over the top and arrange the fresh raspberries on top.
- Step 9: Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
