Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1. Line a 33cm x 23cm Swiss roll tin with baking parchment. For the meringue, mix together the cornflour, coffee and vinegar, and set aside. Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks, then gradually beat in the sugar, a spoonful at a time, until quite thick. Whisk in the coffee mix.

  • step 2

    Spoon the meringue onto the paper and gently spread, giving the top a few swirls. Scatter over the pistachios. Bake for 35-40 mins until it feels crisp.

  • step 3

    Meanwhile, make the filling. Slice the mango either side of the stone, peel, then finely chop the flesh. Beat the mascarpone, then stir in the mango. Whip the cream until thick and fold into the mango mix. Halve the passion fruit, scoop out the inside and set aside.

  • step 4

    When the meringue is cooked, leave in the tin for 10 mins, then lift out and put on a cooling rack, paper-side down. Dust a sheet of baking parchment with icing sugar and, when the meringue is cold, tip it on, paper side up. Peel off the lining paper and spread the cream over. Drizzle over the passion fruit and roll up using the paper as a guide. Open-freeze (see 'Try' below) on a board, wrap in foil and freeze for up to 1 month.

  • step 5

    To serve, unwrap and thaw in the fridge for about 1 hr. Sift with icing sugar and serve in slices.

RECIPE TIPS
OPEN-FREEZING

Open-freezing means you freeze a dish just until it is firm, without wrapping it. Then, when you do wrap it, it won't get squashed.

I tried this out the other day and I used pineapple pieces instead of passion fruit as I didn't have any in the house and for some reason there was a very off taste when I tasted the roulade. I had tasted all the ingredients before I had cooked the roulade and I had tasted the filling also and…

Could it be that you used pineapple? It is very acidic and it can curdle cream to make it taste sour!

I made the traditional pavlova meringue (no coffee or pistachios) and just covered it in whipped double cream and sliced strawberries before rolling it. But when I whipped the double cream I added the grated zest of an orange, served with vanilla ice cream it made a lovely refreshing dessert!

I made this for Australia day celebrations as a Brit living here and it was given the 'thumbs up'. A lovely variation of the traditional pavlova.
