Ingredients
  

For the Pavlova
  • 4 large egg whites Fresh eggs work best for that perfect meringue texture.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar This sweetens the meringue and helps it hold its shape.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds a lovely aroma and flavor to the meringue.
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar This helps stabilize the egg whites for a better meringue.
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch It gives the pavlova a tender, marshmallow-like center.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream For that luscious, creamy topping.
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar Sweetens the cream just right.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the cream's flavor.
For Topping
  • Fresh raspberries and strawberries
  • Edible flowers (optional)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • baking sheet
  • Electric mixer

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw heart shapes to guide the pavlova.
  2. Step 2: In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar, a tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat until the mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form.
  3. Step 3: Gently fold in the vanilla extract, white vinegar, and cornstarch until just combined.
  4. Step 4: Spoon the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, using the heart shapes as a guide. Create a slight well in the center of each heart.
  5. Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let the pavlovas cool completely inside the oven.
  6. Step 6: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  7. Step 7: Once the pavlovas are cooled, carefully transfer them to a serving platter. Spoon the whipped cream into the center of each pavlova.
  8. Step 8: Top with fresh raspberries and strawberries, and garnish with edible flowers if desired.
  9. Step 9: Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful creations!

Notes

To keep your pavlova hearts fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best enjoyed within 1-2 days, as the meringue can lose its crispness over time.
