Take note
Keep in mind that Pavlova can be a bit delicate, so handle it with care. Also, make sure to have all the ingredients ready before you start.

1

Whip it Good

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). In a large bowl, whisk egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking continuously. Keep whisking until the mixture becomes thick and glossy.

2

Sweet and Sugary

Sprinkle cornstarch and vinegar over the meringue mixture. Gently fold them in using a spatula, ensuring that everything is well combined.

3

Piling High

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon the meringue mixture onto the sheet, forming a round shape with slightly raised edges. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon, creating a well in the center.

4

Bake and Cool

Pop the Pavlova into the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour. After that, turn off the oven and let the Pavlova cool completely inside the oven. This will help keep its lovely texture intact.

5

Fresh and Fruity

Once the Pavlova has cooled, carefully transfer it to a serving plate. Fill the well in the center with whipped cream and top it off with a generous amount of fresh fruit. Be creative and use your favorite fruits!
