Egg Whites Vinegar Sugar Corn Starch Cream or Custard Fresh Berries

INGREDIENTS

Outline

01

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw circles (to outline) using an espresso cup as your guide.

Separate

02

Separate your egg whites over two bowls. (Freeze the egg yolks to use in another recipe). Next, add the egg whites to the bowl of your stand mixer.

Beat

03

Beat the egg whites on a low speed (no more than three on the dial) until soft peaks form. 

Add

04

Slowly, add the sugar one tablespoon at a time.  Ensure that the sugar is dissolved before adding the next tablespoon. (This can take anywhere between 10-15 minutes.

Combine

05

Combine the vinegar and cornstarch to make a slurry and add it to the meringue. Raise your speed to number 5 or 6 and beat for another 45 seconds.

Add

06

Place the pavlova meringue into a piping bag.  (Use a tall glass and a spatula to assist you).

Pipe

07

Pipe little circles on the corners of your baking tray. (This will prevent the parchment paper from slipping or moving).

Shape

08

Starting in the centre of your outlined circle, pipe the meringue to form the base. Then, to create the pavlova nests, pipe three layers on the circle's edge.

Bake

09

Bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Turn the oven off and allow the pavlova nests to cool in the oven before serving with your favorite fruit.
