Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 200 grams Xylitol or Erythritol
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 200 grams Mixed berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw an 8-inch circle as a guide.
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the xylitol or erythritol, one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. This will ensure the meringue is stiff and glossy.
Once all the sweetener is incorporated, sift in the cornstarch and gently fold it into the meringue along with the vinegar and vanilla extract.
Spoon the meringue onto the parchment paper, using the circle as a guide, and shape it into a disk with slightly raised edges.
Place the meringue in the oven and immediately reduce the oven temperature to 120°C (250°F). Bake for 75-90 minutes until the meringue is crisp and dry on the outside.
Turn off the oven, leave the door slightly ajar, and let the pavlova cool completely in the oven. This will help prevent cracks.
Once cooled, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled pavlova.
Top with mixed berries. Slice and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for a short period before serving.
