• Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat. Toast pistachios, tossing until golden, 2-3 minutes. • Add the brown sugar, water and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until bubbling and thickened, 2-3 minutes.
TIP: Cooking the caramel fully will ensure the coating is crunchy and not chewy.
• Transfer to a sheet of baking paper and spread out to cool.
• Using electric beaters, whisk pure cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form and almost doubled in size, 1-2 minutes.
TIP: If you don't have electric beaters, use a hand whisk for 3-4 minutes! TIP: Chill both your bowl and cream before whipping to get maximum volume.
• Pick mint leaves (see ingredients) and thinly slice.
• Dollop a spoonful of whipped cream on each meringue nest. Drizzle each pavlova with some berry compote and cherry sauce. • Top with caramelised pistachios and a pinch of mint.
• Transfer berry-cherry mini pavlovas to a platter. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
