Blackberry Pavlova

This elegant dessert features a crispy meringue base topped with whipped cream and fresh blackberries.

Ingredients - Serves 8

Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gradually add the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and white vinegar while continuing to beat until the mixture is glossy and holds its shape.
Spoon the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a round shape with slightly raised edges.
Bake for 1.5 hours, or until the meringue is crisp and dry. Turn off the oven and let it cool completely inside.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Carefully transfer the cooled meringue base onto a serving plate.
Spread the whipped cream evenly over the meringue base.
Top with fresh blackberries and garnish with mint leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
