Pavlova
Ingredients
4 egg whites at room temperature
1 cup (250 ml) sugar
1 tsp (5 ml) white vinegar
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream, whipped
Sliced fruit (kiwis, strawberries, bananas) for garnish
Directions
Beat the egg whites, sugar, vinegar, and vanilla together until
very stiff, about 12 to 15 minutes. Place the mixture on a
baking sheet lined with lightly oiled wax paper or aluminum
foil, forming it into a slight mound. Bake in a preheated 300F
(150C) oven for 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and place the
meringue on a serving platter. Immediately before serving spread
with the whipped cream and decorate with sliced fruit.
