This dessert can be filled with any type of berry mix. To help ensure you have a successful pav, add all the ingredients very slowly. The cook time does not include cooling in the oven.

1 pavlova (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 egg whites
1 teaspoon cornflour (cornstarch)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
3/4 cup caster sugar (superfine sugar or berry sugar)
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 pinch salt

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 250°F.
2
Using a clean and perfectly dry bowl, beat egg whites. When soft peaks form, add sugar gradually.
3
Beat until very stiff, continue beating and add salt, then vinegar, and finally vanilla a few drops at a time.
4
Beat in the cornstarch and keep beating until the mixture is really glossy and will stand when cut with a knife.
5
Cover a baking pan with a sheet of parchment paper, tip the pavlova mix into the center of the pan and spread it into around about 8 - 9 inches across, leave the center slightly caved inches
6
Place on rack in center of oven and cook for one hour, then turn oven off and leave until oven is cold.
7
Do not open the oven at all until it is cold. If you are unsure, it's better to leave in too long than open early.

This pavlova has a slightly crisp outside and is like marshmallow on the inside. You may dress it several ways, spread with a layer of thick whipped cream that has had 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla and 1 teaspoon of sugar added or pastry cream. This is covered with sliced fruit, whatever is in season - strawberries, raspberries, sliced (peeled) kiwifruit the choice is yours.
