The Perfect Pavlova Recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Using an electric stand mixer or hand mixer, whip egg whites in a clean bowl for 2 minutes on low speed until bubbles start to form.

Step 3

Turn the machine up to medium-high speed and continue whipping until the egg whites start to reach soft peaks, roughly 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl add the sugar. To this add cornflour and the vinegar. (see video for step by step)

Step 5

Slowly start to add the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time until it is all incorporated. You will see the egg whites double in volume and get shiny. Continue mixing for 2 more minutes and then turn off the machine.

Step 6

On the cookie sheet, spread out the pavlova into a 10-inch round. Make the dip in the middle where you will spread the cream.

Step 7

Turn down the oven to 250°F (125°C) and bake the Pavlova for 1hr 30 minutes. After that time, turn off the oven but leave it in the oven to dry out for 3 hours. (or overnight like I do)

Step 8

When you are ready to serve, dollop whipped cream on top of the Pavlova and top with Sliced strawberries, sliced kiwi, and some passion fruit. Keep refrigerated and enjoy within 2 days.
