Pavlova [0000582]

Ingredients:

4 large egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whipped cream
Assorted fresh fruits (kiwi, strawberries, passion fruit)
Mint leaves for garnish

Steps:

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat until the mixture is glossy.
Gently fold in vinegar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract.
Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a circle or oval shape.
Create a well in the center for the filling.
Bake for 1 hour or until the pavlova is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
Allow it to cool completely before topping with whipped cream and fresh fruits.
