This Pavlova dessert is fun to make and eat. Fresh fruit, especially berries and kiwis, balances the sweet, gooey crunch.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 3 egg whites, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ teaspoon white vinegar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 1 pint whole strawberries, stems removed
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Step 3
Whisk sugar and cornstarch in a bowl. Set aside.
Step 4
Beat egg whites in a bowl until they are foamy and have a thick, ribbony texture, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 5
Pour 1/4 of sugar mixture into the egg whites; whisk until completely incorporated, about 30 seconds. Repeat for rest of sugar mixture, whisking after each addition, until all of sugar mixture is incorporated and egg whites are glossy and thick.
Step 6
Pour vanilla and vinegar into egg white mixture; whisk until you can lift your beater or whisk straight up and egg whites form a sharp peak that holds its shape, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 7
Spoon egg white mixture onto the prepared baking sheet; spread out into a 2×6-inch disk.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
Step 9
Turn off the oven, crack open the oven door and let the Pavlova cool for one hour.
Step 10
Whip cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until soft peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 11
Transfer Pavlova to a serving plate. Top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
Chef’s Note:
I said "4 eggs" in the video, but 3 is what I actually used!
