Ingredients
Pavlova
- 3 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon white vinegar
- 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Layering Things:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar sifted
- 1 pound strawberries hulled and sliced
- Fresh chamomile leaves as garnish (optional)
- Baby strawberries as garnish (optional)
Instructions
- To make the Pavlova: preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- To the bowl of a stand-up mixer, with the whisk attachment, add the egg whites and vinegar; beat until frothy, about 2 minutes. With the mixer running, slowly incorporate the sugar; beat until stiff peaks form, about 5 additional minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Take a 5 or 6-inch plate, flip it over onto the parchment, and use it trace 3 circles. Divide the meringue evenly amongst circles, smoothing them out until they’re about 1-inch thick. Transfer to the oven to bake for 1 hour until hard and crisp on the outside. Turn the oven off, prop open the oven door, and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- To make the whipped cream: add the heavy cream and powered sugar to a bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream and sugar together until fluffy, soft peaks form.
- Place the first meringue disk on a plate. Top with 1/4 cup of heavy cream (feel free to eyeball this measurement) and smooth it out until it reaches the edges. Top with strawberry slices. Repeat until you’ve made three layers. For the top, add more strawberries and garnish with chamomile leaves and baby strawberries.
- When you’re ready to plate, smash the meringue a bit with a knife and divide amongst bowls. That’s your mess!

Notes
- Equipment:
- KitchenAid Stand-Up Mixer | Nordic Baking Sheet | OXO Fine-Mesh Strainer |
- Make it ahead of time. The meringue can be made a couple days ahead of time, just place in a Zip-loc bag once they’re completely cooled and store at room temperature. If you want to mash it up for everyone ahead of time you can do that too! Just break up the meringue and fold it with the whipped cream mixture and top with strawberries.
- Use any juicy fruit that you like. Any berry would be good with this. I’ve also had it with peaches and nectarines and it was delicious.
