Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw a 7-inch (18 cm) circle on the paper as a guide.
  2. Step 2: In a clean, dry bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 cup caster sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, beating on high speed until glossy and stiff peaks form.
  3. Step 3: Gently fold in 1 tsp cornstarch and 1 tsp white vinegar with a spatula until just combined.
  4. Step 4: Spoon the meringue onto the parchment inside the circle, shaping it with a slight well in the center. Bake for 45 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave the meringue inside to cool completely for 1 hour.
  5. Step 5: Whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tbsp granulated sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  6. Step 6: Carefully transfer the cooled pavlova to a serving plate. Spoon the whipped cream into the center and top with 1 cup fresh mixed berries.
