Ingredients
- 5 oz egg whites
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 packet vanillin
- 7 oz frozen berries
- 2 tbsp sugar
Tools
- Stand Mixer
- Baking Tray
- Spatula
- Parchment Paper
Steps
Place the egg whites in the stand mixer bowl (make sure they are at room temperature for at least 24 hours). Start whipping and gradually add the sugar, lemon, and cornstarch. You should obtain a firm meringue.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper, fixing the paper on the sides with a bit of meringue to ensure it doesn’t move. Form a circle. If desired, you can make it like a single cake without a hole in the center.
Flatten the surface well where the filling will go. Bake for 90 minutes at 212°F
Meanwhile, in a pan, melt the berries with 2 tablespoons of sugar for about 10 minutes. Whip the cream with the vanilla, keeping it slightly soft, not overly whipped.
Transfer the pavlova onto a serving plate and fill it with the whipped cream.
Add the cold berries. Let it rest in the fridge until it’s time to serve.
You can substitute the berries with seasonal fruit, and chantilly cream instead of whipped cream
