Summer Mango Pavlova with Norco Cape Byron Ultimate Vanilla Ice Cream
This Christmas Mango Pavlova is a sun-kissed twist on an Australian classic, bringing together crisp meringue, billowy cream, and the vibrant sweetness of fresh mango. Light, airy, and beautifully festive, it captures everything we love about an Aussie Christmas—summer flavours, bright colours, and effortless elegance.
The pavlova’s delicate shell gives way to a soft, marshmallow-like centre, creating the perfect base for silky cream and juicy slices of mango. A hint of citrus or tropical garnish lifts the whole dessert, making each bite refreshing yet indulgent. It’s simple to assemble, stunning on the table, and guaranteed to be the star of any celebration.
A true crowd-pleaser that tastes like sunshine and celebration in every slice.
What You’ll Need
Norco cape byron ultimate vanilla ice cream
6 egg whites
1 ¼ cup (270g) caster sugar
2 tsp cornflour
1 tsp white vinegar
½ tsp vanilla extract
Seasonal fruit or berries to decorate – mangoes
Preheat oven to 120°C and line 3 baking trays with baking paper. Use an electric mixer to whisk egg whites in a clean dry bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition, until meringue is thick and glossy and sugar dissolved. Rub a little meringue between fingers. If still “gritty” with sugar, continue to whisk until sugar dissolves. Add cornflour, vinegar and vanilla and whisk until just combined. Spoon meringue mixture onto the baking trays to form the nests or one large pavlova. Bake in oven for 1 ½ hours or until meringue is dry to the touch. Turn off oven but leave meringues in oven with the door ajar to cool completely. When completely cold, transfer to serving platter and add scoops of Cape Byron Ultimate Vanilla Ice Cream and seasonal berries and mango to decorate.
Tip: When forming the meringue nests, use a spatula to ensure sides are smooth and an indent or scoop is made in the middle to form the “bowl” of the nest where the ice cream scoop can sit.
