Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites room temperature
- 1 cup superfine sugar *
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch divided
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 2 cups Whipped Cream
- 1 cup strawberries
- ½ cup raspberries
- ½ cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Add egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer and begin beating on medium speed until medium peaks form.
- Add the sugar in very slowly 1 tablespoon at a time. Once all of the sugar has been added, increase the speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
- In a small prep bowl, combine the remaining teaspoon of cornstarch with the lemon juice and vanilla and mix with a fork until liquid.
- Once the egg whites are done, fold the lemon juice mixture into the egg whites with a rubber spatula.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and use 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to rub in a 12" circle. S
- Transfer the egg whites mixture to the prepared baking sheet and use the rubber spatula to spread it out in a circle, leaving an indentation in the center.
- REDUCE THE OVEN TEMPERATURE TO 225°F and bake the pavlova for 1-1.5 HOUR, then turn off the oven and leave the pavlova in the oven until completely cool, about 3 hours.
- Once cooled, gently remove the pavlova from the pan and place it on a serving dish, then top with whipped cream and fruit.

Notes
- *If caster sugar (sometimes known as berry sugar) is not available, you can use granulated sugar but the pavlova will have some noticeable granules. You can also run granulated sugar through a food processor to make it finer. DO NOT use powdered sugar.
