Delicious Strawberry Pavlova Recipe - A Classic Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 cup heavy cream (whipped)
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries (sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for strawberries)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Use a pencil to trace a 9-inch circle on the parchment for guidance.
  2. Whip Egg Whites

    In a clean mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form.

    Make sure there is no yolk in the whites for best results.
  3. Add Sugar Gradually

    Gradually add granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.

    The mixture should be glossy and hold stiff peaks.
  4. Fold in Cornstarch & Vinegar

    Gently fold in cornstarch and vinegar until just combined.

    Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  5. Shape the Pavlova

    Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a circle with a slight well in the center.

    Smooth the edges to create a beautiful presentation.
  6. Bake the Meringue

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let it cool completely inside.

    Do not open the oven door during baking.
  7. Whip Cream

    While the meringue cools, whip heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

    Keep the whipped cream refrigerated until ready to use.
  8. Assemble the Pavlova

    Once the meringue is cool, top with whipped cream and arrange sliced strawberries on top.

    Sprinkle with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
