Fresh Berry Pavlova
12 servings
2 hours, 30 minutes total (Active 45 minutes)

Ingredients

  • Parchment paper
  • 8 large eggs (or 1 ½ cups liquid egg whites)
  • 2 cups + 1 ½ tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups mixed fresh berries (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries)

Steps

    1. Place racks in center and bottom third of oven. Preheat oven to 250°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; draw 8-inch-wide circles on paper. Separate eggs for whites (reserve yolks for another use).
    2. Place egg whites in large bowl and beat with electric mixer on MEDIUM until soft peaks form. Increase mixer to HIGH; add 2 cups sugar 1 tablespoon at a time until meringue holds stiff and shiny peaks. Fold in vinegar, cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just blended. Divide meringue between circles on parchment paper and smooth edges.
    3. Bake 60–75 minutes until outside is dry and pale cream in color. Turn oven off, open door slightly, and let meringues cool completely in oven.
    4. Place heavy cream in large bowl; beat with electric mixer until soft peaks form. Fold in remaining 1 ½ tablespoons sugar and ½ teaspoon vanilla until just blended.
    5. Place 1 meringue round on serving platter. Mound one-half whipped cream in center and top with one-half berries. Place second meringue on top of berries; mound remaining half whipped cream in center and top with remaining half berries. Serve immediately.
