Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 275°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a clean bowl, whisk 4 large egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  2. Step 2: Gradually add 1 cup caster sugar, one tablespoon at a time, whisking on high until stiff, glossy peaks form. Gently fold in 1 tsp cornstarch and 1 tsp white vinegar.
  3. Step 3: Spoon the meringue onto the parchment paper into a 7-inch circle, smoothing edges. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, then turn off oven and leave the pavlova inside to cool completely (about 1 hour).
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, brew a strong Vietnamese coffee by combining 2 tbsp Vietnamese coffee grounds with 1/4 cup boiling water, steeping for 5 minutes and straining.
  5. Step 5: Whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold in 3 tbsp sweetened condensed milk and the cooled brewed coffee.
  6. Step 6: Once the pavlova is cool, top with the coffee condensed milk cream and garnish with 1 cup mixed fresh berries if desired.
