Preparation
-
Turn the oven on to 160º, and start by making a meringue.
-
Separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the egg whites until stiff. When the foam starts to become more consistent, add the fine sugar, spoon by spoon.
-
Then add vanilla extract, sifted cornstarch and white wine vinegar, and mix everything together using a spatula.
-
Place the meringue in the shape of a circle with a concave surface, in the center of a tray lined with baking paper, lower the oven temperature to 140ºC and let the meringue bake for an hour and a half. We can never open the oven door, neither during cooking nor while the pavlova will remain there, with the oven turned off, until it cools completely.
-
When ready, make the pavlova filling. Beat the cream, add a few drops of lemon and gradually add the sugar.
-
Cover the pavlova with the cream and smooth the surface, add fresh fruit of your choice and, finally, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
