Passion Fruit Pavlova THC Meringues
(10 mg THC each · 40 meringues · 400 mg total batch)
Crisp outside, marshmallow-soft inside, topped with tart passion fruit curd and a dusting of freeze-dried passion fruit powder. Zero weed taste, pure tropical elegance.
Decarboxylation
2.0 g flower @ 22–25 % THC (or 1.0 g good kief)
240 °F for 40 minutes in sealed mason jar → ~400 mg usable THC
Infusion
½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter + ½ tsp liquid sunflower lecithin
Melt to 170 °F → add decarbed flower → sous-vide 185 °F for 2 hours
Strain hard → crystal-clear 400 mg THC butter
Passion Fruit Curd (makes ~1½ cups)
½ cup (120 ml) fresh or frozen passion fruit purée
¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
3 large egg yolks
All 400 mg THC butter, cubed and cold
Pinch salt
Meringue
4 large egg whites (120 g)
1 cup (200 g) superfine sugar
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp cornstarch
½ tsp vanilla bean paste
Steps
1. Make curd: Whisk purée, sugar, yolks in bowl over simmering water until 170 °F and thick → remove from heat → whisk in cold THC butter one cube at a time → strain → chill completely.
2. Meringue: Preheat oven to 225 °F. Line two trays with parchment.
Whip whites to soft peaks → rain in sugar 1 tbsp at a time → whip to stiff glossy peaks → fold in vinegar, cornstarch, vanilla.
3. Pipe or spoon 40 small nests (2-inch base with slight well in center).
4. Bake 75–90 minutes until crisp outside → turn oven off → leave inside with door cracked 1 hour.
5. Fill each cooled nest with 1 tsp passion fruit THC curd → dust with freeze-dried passion fruit powder.
Storage
Airtight tin with parchment between layers → 5 days room temp
Fridge → 10 days (crispness softens after day 3)

Crispy, airy meringue melts into bright, tangy passion fruit with that buttery THC richness underneath.
These disappear faster than anything else we make; people eat them like popcorn.
Make double.
