Ingredients

For the Pavlova

  • 4 large Egg Whites Ensure the bowl is grease-free.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Add gradually while whipping.
  • 1 teaspoon White Vinegar Stabilizes meringue.
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch Helps provide structure.

For the Whipped Cream Filling

  • 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream Whip until stiff peaks form.
  • ¼ cup Powdered Sugar Adjust to sweetness preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor.

For the Fruit Layer

  • 2 cups Mixed Berries Include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries.
  • ¼ cup Mint Leaves Optional garnish.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and draw a circle for guidance.
  • In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar, whipping until glossy and stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold in white vinegar and cornstarch with a rubber spatula.
  • Spoon the meringue onto the drawn circle on parchment paper and bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven and let cool with the door slightly ajar.
  • As the pavlova cools, whip heavy cream in a separate bowl, adding powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  • Break cooled pavlova into pieces and layer in a trifle dish with whipped cream and mixed berries.
  • Top with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra layer of indulgence, consider adding a sprinkle of grated chocolate.
