Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; draw a 9-inch circle in the center of the paper.
  2. 2 Whisk 1/4 cup sugar and cornstarch together in a small bowl.
  3. 3 Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar, continuing to beat until sugar is completely dissolved and stiff peaks form. Gently fold in cornstarch mixture and lemon juice.
  4. 4 Spread a 1/4-inch-thick layer of meringue onto the prepared baking sheet to fill the circle. Pipe or spoon remaining meringue to form a taller edge around the circle to create a shallow bowl, making decorative swirls if desired.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven off. Let meringue sit in the oven for 30 minutes; do not open the door. After 30 minutes, remove meringue from the oven; it should be hard on the outside and slightly moist on the inside.
  6. 6 Beat cream and confectioners sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Spread whipped cream over cooled meringue and top with strawberries.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  2. 2 Whisk sugar and cornstarch together in a bowl. Beat egg whites in a second bowl until foamy with a thick, ribbony texture, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in 1/4 of the sugar mixture until completely incorporated, about 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining sugar mixture, whisking after each addition, until all is incorporated and egg whites are glossy and thick.
  3. 3 Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and vinegar; whisk until you can lift the beater or whisk straight up and egg whites form a sharp peak that holds its shape, 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. 4 Spoon egg white mixture onto the prepared baking sheet; spread out into a 2x6-inch disk.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn off the oven, crack open the oven door, and let the Pavlova cool for 1 hour.
  6. 6 Transfer cooled Pavlova to a serving plate.
  7. 7 Whip cream, sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla in a bowl until soft peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Spread over Pavlova and top with fresh strawberries.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). You will be turning the temperature down to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) when you put this in to bake. Line a 9 or 10 inch round glass dish with parchment paper.
  2. 2 Combine the egg whites and salt in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer, or stand mixer using a whisk attachment until able to form soft peaks. Sprinkle in the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time while continuing to whip to stiff peaks. Stir in the vanilla and vinegar, and fold in coconut if using. Spread evenly into the prepared glass dish, making sure to spread out to all of the edges.
  3. 3 Place the Pavlova into the oven, and immediately reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top is crisp and a pale straw color. Leave in the oven, and turn off the heat. Let it stay in the oven until the oven has cooled completely.
  4. 4 Once the Pavlova is cooled, top generously with sweetened whipped cream. Arrange the strawberries, kiwis, peaches and blueberries in beautiful concentric circles on top.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10x15 jelly roll pan and line the pan with parchment. Grease the parchment and dust with the cornstarch.
  2. 2 Beat the 6 egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Spread the meringue mixture in the prepared pan.
  3. 3 Whisk together the cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar, then almonds, evenly over the meringue mixture.
  4. 4 Bake meringue in the preheated oven until lightly brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven; turn over onto a foil-covered surface, almond side down. Set aside to cool completely. Carefully remove parchment when cool.
  5. 5 Beat the 3 egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Add salt, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Gradually beat in 1 cup sugar; then gradually beat in lemon juice and zest.
  6. 6 In a separate bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into lemon mixture.
  7. 7 Place the filling in the center of the meringue. Using the foil to lift the meringue, fold the sides of the meringue over the filling, making a log shape. Wrap the log in foil and place in freezer for at least two hours.
  8. 8 To serve, unwrap pavlova. Decorate with lemon slices, mint leaves and strawberries. Serve frozen.
