Take note
Be cautious with delicate pavlova so that it doesn't collapse or crack during the process. The steps involve some level of skill and precision.

1

Prepare the Pavlova Base

Start by preheating your oven to 250°F (120°C). In a mixing bowl, beat 4 egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Continue beating until the mixture is glossy and the sugar has dissolved.

2

Shape and Bake the Pavlova

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon the pavlova mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a round disc with slightly raised edges. Smooth the surface with a spatula. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the pavlova is dry and crisp on the outside.

3

Adding Elegance

Once the pavlova has cooled completely, it's time to add the elegant touches. Start by whipping 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently spread the whipped cream onto the pavlova, leaving a border around the edges. Arrange your choice of fresh fruits, such as berries or sliced kiwi, on top of the cream. For an extra touch of elegance, dust the pavlova with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar.
