Steps
- 01
Preheat oven to 177°C and line a large sheet pan with parchment. Clean and degrease bowl and whisk, then separate eggs.
- 02
Whisk four egg whites on medium-high about 5 minutes until soft peaks form.
- 03
Add 200g sugar in two additions, beating 30 seconds between, then beat about 2 more minutes on high until stiff glossy peaks form.
- 04
Beat in 1 tsp vanilla for 1 minute, then gently fold in 1/2 tsp cream of tartar and 1 tsp cornstarch.
- 05
Spread the meringue into a 20–23cm circle on parchment, shaping higher edges and a shallow well for the cream.
- 06
Place in the oven and immediately lower temperature to 93°C; bake about 90 minutes until the outside and bottom are firm and dry, extending if necessary.
- 07
Turn off oven and allow the pavlova to cool completely inside with the door closed. Do not add cream before it is cool.
- 08
Whip 240ml cold cream in a chilled bowl to soft peaks and slice 250g washed berries.
- 09
Top the cool meringue with cream and berries, slice into eight and serve immediately. Refrigerate any decorated leftovers and preferably eat the same day.
Before you cook
Contains egg and milk. Refrigerate eggs and never taste raw egg-white foam. Thoroughly bake at 93°C until meringue shell is dry and set; pasteurized egg whites provide added safety for pregnant, young or immunocompromised eaters. After adding cream and fruit, do not leave at room temperature for over 2 hours; refrigerate at 4°C or below and preferably eat the same day.
Allergens: egg, milk (whipped cream)
