Pavlova with Mixed Berries – As Seen on GMA

Yields1 Serving

 4 extra large egg whites, at room temperature
 1 cup sugar
 2 tsp cornstarch
 1 tsp lemon juice
 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
 1 cup heavy cream
 2 tbsp sugar
 4 cups fresh fruits (blueberries, raspberries, sliced strawberries)
 pinch of kosher salt
 springs of mint for garnish
 piping bag with tip (large star tip preferred)
1

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3

Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and salt on high speed just until peaks form, about 1 minute. With the mixer still on high, slowly add the sugar and beat until it makes firm, shiny peaks, about 2 minutes.

4

Sprinkle the cornstarch onto the beaten egg whites and add the lemon juice and vanilla. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in ingredients into egg whites just until mixed.

5

Spoon egg white mixture (meringue) into piping bag. Pipe individual rounds about two to three inches wide and about two to three inches tall.

6

Using the back of a spoon make a small indent on the top of each round. (This will hold whipped cream and berries.)

7

Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, then turn off oven. Continue baking in hot oven for an additional 30 minutes.

8

Meringue should be light and crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Transfer to a rack to cool at room temperature.

9

In a bowl, beat cold heavy cream and sugar on high speed until firm. Spoon whipped cream in the center of cooled meringues.

Top with fresh berries and garnish with mint - enjoy!
