Handle the meringue with care as it can be delicate and prone to cracking. Make sure to let it cool completely before topping it with any decorations. Also, keep in mind that this recipe requires some time and patience. But don't worry, the end result is entirely worth it!

1

Whisk away the magic!

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Grab a large, clean mixing bowl and whisk together 6 egg whites and 1.5 cups (300g) of granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. The mixture should be glossy and smooth.

2

It's all in the technique!

Now, gently fold in 1 teaspoon of white vinegar and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch into the meringue mixture. This helps stabilize the Pavlova and gives it that airy texture. Don't overmix, as you want to maintain those fluffy peaks!

3

Color your world!

Divide the meringue mixture evenly into 5 separate bowls. Add a few drops of your favorite food coloring to each bowl and gently fold the color into the mixture. Get creative and mix and match colors to make your rainbow truly whimsical!

4

Create the magic!

Spoon the colored meringue mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet in circular shapes, starting with the outermost color and working your way inwards. Use a spoon or spatula to create gentle swirls and peaks. The messier, the better – it's all about that whimsical charm!

5

Into the oven it goes!

Pop your colorful creation into the preheated oven and bake for 1.5 to 2 hours or until the meringue is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. It should lift easily off the parchment paper.

6

Rainbow delights!

Once the Pavlova has cooled completely, it's time to get whimsical with the toppings! Whip up some heavy cream with a touch of sugar until it reaches stiff peaks. Then, pile it high on top of your rainbow Pavlova. Finish it off by decorating with a variety of fresh fruits and sprinkles. Let your creativity run wild!
