Ingredients 

For the Pavlova

  • 4 egg whites room temperature, large
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar 5 ml
  • ½ tablespoon cornstarch 4 g
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 2.5 ml

For the Topping

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar or more to taste (8 g)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 2.5 ml
  • 2 cups berries mixed fees (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw a 7-inch (18 cm) circle on the parchment, then turn the paper over so the pencil mark is underneath.
  • In a large, clean bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  • Slowly add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed for 8–10 minutes until the meringue is glossy, stiff, and smooth to the touch.
  • Add the cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla. Fold gently until fully combined.
  • Spoon the meringue onto the traced circle and shape into a round nest with slightly higher edges. Place in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 225°F (110°C). Bake for 60 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the pavlova inside to cool for 1 hour with the door closed.
  • In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Keep in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Move the cooled pavlova to a serving plate. Spread the cream on top and arrange fresh berries.
  • Serve right away, or store uncovered in the fridge for up to 2 hours.
