I don't know if this is the "WOW" you are looking for, but I saw it on the stuff website a while back and thought it looked pretty neat. Its a pavalova roll.. Another one that I often make is not flash, but always popular and thats ambrosia (sp?) which is cream yoghurt mixed with chunks of banana, chopped moro bar etc
Recipes Don't despair if you can't make a pavlova! This 'pavlova roll' is not only quicker (cooking in about 10 minutes) but looks really interesting and impressive. Another bonus is that from the start of mixing to getting it on the plate, the whole process really only take about an hour - the longest step is waiting for the roll to cool (usually 15-20 minutes) before filling and rolling it up. Alison's Pavlova Roll For about 6 servings: 4 large egg whites 1/8 tsp salt 1/2 cup castor sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla about 1 cup cream about 2 cups strawberries and/ or other berries Heat oven to 180C (or 170C fanbake) with oven rack just below the middle. Line a sponge roll tin (about 33x23cm) with a Teflon liner or with baking paper. Separate the eggs, putting the whites into the (fat free) bowl of an electric beater. Add the salt, sugar and vanilla and beat everything together at high speed until the mixture is stiff, and the peaks of meringue stand upright, with only a small tip turning over when the beater is lifted from them (this should take about 10 minutes). Spread the mixture evenly over the lined sponge roll tin. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the surface is a light golden brown, the centre feels firm, and the mixture has puffed up. Take care not to overcook, since overcooked rolls shrink excessively. Take from the oven, and turn upside down onto a sheet of baking paper or another liner which has been wiped over very lightly with soft butter, then sprinkled with caster sugar. Lift away the paper or liner which was on the bottom of the baking tin. While the meringue cools, whip the chilled cream. When the meringue is cool, spread most of the upper surface (the inside of the roll) with half the stiffly whipped, cold cream leaving a 5cm strip at one edge uncovered (this will be the join). We usually to roll the meringue up, starting from a short side, forming a short, fat roll, but you can make a long thin roll if this suits you better. Cover the cream with sliced strawberries and/or other fruit, then roll up, using the paper/Teflon under the cake to help you. Place the roll, join down, on a rectangular plate or board. Spread the remaining cream over the top, then decorate with strawberries and/or other fruit. To serve, cut slices with a thin, sharp or serrated knife. Ad Feedback Notes: This mixture should not be overcooked. Since ovens vary, be prepared to experiment, using shorter times if cooked mixture shrinks excessively. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
