Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw a 7-inch (18 cm) circle 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.
  3. Step 3: Gradually add 1/2 cup caster sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff, glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold in 1 tsp cornstarch, 1/2 tsp white vinegar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract with a spatula until combined.
  5. Step 5: Spoon the meringue mixture onto the parchment paper circle, shaping it with a slight well in the center.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave the pavlova inside to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  7. Step 7: Meanwhile, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tbsp icing sugar until soft peaks form.
  8. Step 8: Once pavlova is cool, transfer to a serving plate, top with whipped cream, and scatter 1 cup mixed fresh berries over the top before serving.
