Preheat your oven to 120Β°C (250Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a clean, dry bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue to beat until the meringue is glossy and stiff peaks form.
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the mixture, then add the white vinegar and vanilla extract. Gently fold these ingredients into the meringue using a spatula.
Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet to form eight small round nests, about 8-10 cm in diameter. Use the back of a spoon to create a slight indent in the center of each nest.
Bake the pavlovas in the preheated oven for 90 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the pavlovas inside to cool completely (around 1 hour) without opening the door.
While the pavlovas are cooling, prepare the topping. In a cold, clean bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.
To assemble, carefully place the cooled mini pavlovas on a serving plate. Fill each nest with a dollop of whipped cream.
Top the whipped cream with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and a drizzle of passion fruit pulp.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful crunch and softness of these mini pavlovas!
