Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a clean, dry bowl, beat 2 large egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  3. Step 3: Gradually add 1/2 cup caster sugar one tablespoon at a time while continuing to beat on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold in 1 tsp cornstarch, 1/2 tsp white vinegar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract without deflating the mixture.
  5. Step 5: Spoon the meringue onto the parchment paper forming a 7-inch diameter circle with slightly raised edges.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes until the outside is dry and crisp. Turn off the oven and leave the pavlova inside to cool completely (about 1 hour).
  7. Step 7: Whip 3/4 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Spread over the cooled pavlova and top with 1 cup fresh mixed berries.
  8. Step 8: Optionally, dust with 1 tbsp powdered sugar just before serving.
