Recipe By: Queen G's Recipes

Serves: 4-6

​Prep time: 20 Minutes

Bake time: 1 Hour and 30 minutes (Plus 6 hour cooling time)

Ingredients

• 6 large egg whites at room temperature

• 1-1/4 cups sugar

• 2 teaspoons cornstarch

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar

• 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Topping:

• 1-1/2 cups heavy cream

• 2 tablespoons icing sugar (aka powdered sugar)

• fresh fruit of your choice (I used strawberries & blueberries)

Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Whisk until frothy.

   
   

2. Gradually add the sugar in portions, continuing to whisk at high speed. Once the sugar is completely added, whisk for an additional 7 minutes on high speed until the mixture forms stiff peaks and the sugar has fully dissolved.

   
   

3. Add the cornstarch, vanilla extract and lemon juice. Whisk until fully combined.

   
   

4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dab a small amount of meringue under the parchment paper corners to keep it in place.

   
   

5. Carefully place the meringue onto the parchment and use an offset spatula to form a 6-7 inch diameter circle. Create a slight indent in the center to hold the whipped cream and fruit later.

   
   

6. Preheat the oven to 250F and bake for 1hour and 30 Minutes. After baking, turn off the oven and leave the pavlova inside (with the door closed) for 6 hours to cool completely.

   
   

7. In a bowl, whip the heavy cream and icing sugar until soft peaks form.

   
   

8. Time to assemble! Spread the whipped cream on the top pf the pavolva, add your choice of fresh fruit, and dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
