Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 275°F. In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 1 tsp white vinegar while continuing to beat on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Step 2: Spoon the meringue onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping into an 8-inch circle with a slight well in the center.
Step 3: Bake for 1 hour, then turn off oven and let meringue cool inside oven with door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
Step 4: In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 1 tsp rosewater and 2 tbsp powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Step 5: Spoon rosewater whipped cream into the meringue well and top with 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries. Serve immediately.
