Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). In a large clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  2. Step 2: Gradually add 1 cup caster sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed until the meringue is glossy and stiff peaks form.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle 1 tsp cornstarch and 1 tsp white vinegar over the meringue and gently fold in with a spatula.
  4. Step 4: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spoon the meringue into a 7-inch circle, shaping the edges slightly higher than the center.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave the meringue inside to cool completely (about 1-2 hours) to prevent cracking.
  6. Step 6: Whip 1 cup heavy cream with 1 tsp vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  7. Step 7: Once the pavlova is cool, spoon the whipped cream evenly over the center, then drizzle 1/2 cup passionfruit pulp on top.
  8. Step 8: Decorate with 1/2 cup sliced strawberries, 1/2 cup blueberries, and 1/2 cup raspberries before serving.
