Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large egg whites
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 cups fresh fruits (e.g. strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, kiwi, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a large, clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed. Beat until the mixture is glossy and forms stiff peaks, about 5-7 minutes.
Gently fold in the vinegar, vanilla extract, and cornstarch until just combined.
Spread the meringue mixture into a 9-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet, forming a slight well in the center to hold the toppings later.
Bake the meringue in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours. Then, turn off the oven and let the meringue cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar. This helps prevent cracking.
Once ready to serve, whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until it begins to thicken.
Add the powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
Carefully transfer the cooled meringue base to a serving platter.
Spread the whipped cream over the meringue and top with an assortment of fresh fruits for a vibrant and tasty presentation.
Slice and serve immediately to enjoy the crisp exterior and marshmallow-like interior, complemented by the creamy and fruity topping.
