Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 200 grams Xylitol or Erythritol
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 200 grams Mixed berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw an 8-inch circle as a guide.
Step 2
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Step 3
Gradually add the xylitol or erythritol, one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. This will ensure the meringue is stiff and glossy.
Step 4
Once all the sweetener is incorporated, sift in the cornstarch and gently fold it into the meringue along with the vinegar and vanilla extract.
Step 5
Spoon the meringue onto the parchment paper, using the circle as a guide, and shape it into a disk with slightly raised edges.
Step 6
Place the meringue in the oven and immediately reduce the oven temperature to 120°C (250°F). Bake for 75-90 minutes until the meringue is crisp and dry on the outside.
Step 7
Turn off the oven, leave the door slightly ajar, and let the pavlova cool completely in the oven. This will help prevent cracks.
Step 8
Once cooled, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled pavlova.
Step 9
Top with mixed berries. Slice and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for a short period before serving.
