Ingredients:
4 large Egg Whites
1 cup (200g) White Sugar
1 tsp White Vinegar
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Cornstarch
1 cup (240ml) Heavy Cream
Assorted Fresh Fruits (Berries, Kiwi, Passionfruit)
Mint Leaves (for garnish)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a clean, dry bowl, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip until the meringue is glossy. Mix in white vinegar, vanilla extract, and cornstarch, folding gently to combine. Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a nest shape. Create a slight well in the center of the pavlova to hold the filling. Bake for about 1 hour or until the pavlova is crisp on the outside and marshmallow-like on the inside. Allow the pavlova to cool completely.
Serving:
Whip the heavy cream until stiff and fill the pavlova nest with the cream. Top with assorted fresh fruits and garnish with mint leaves for a burst of color.
Pavlova is a dessert masterpiece, offering a harmonious blend of textures and flavors. This elegant treat is a showstopper at any gathering.
