Method
- 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.
- 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.
- Step 3: Gently fold in the vanilla extract, white vinegar, and cornstarch until just combined.
- 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.
- Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let the pavlovas cool completely inside the oven.
- Step 6: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Step 7: Once the pavlovas are cooled, carefully transfer them to a serving platter. Spoon the whipped cream into the center of each pavlova.
- Step 8: Top with fresh raspberries and strawberries, and garnish with edible flowers if desired.
- 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.
