Steps
- Preheat the oven to 250°F. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites with the salt and vanilla. When the whites start to get foamy, very gradually add the granulated sugar – about 1 tbsp at a time. Continue to mix until the meringue is shiny and thick like shaving cream. This may take about 8 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom. Fold the powdered sugar mixture into the meringue.
- On parchment lined sheet trays, pipe or spread the meringue into three disks about 6-8” wide and about 1” tall ( you can fit one on one sheet tray and 2 on another). Bake for about 35 minutes or until the pavlova disks will barely lift away cleanly from the parchment paper when you lift them with a spatula.
- Cool completely and layer with plum jam, whipped cream, slices of fresh plums, and nuts.
