Ingredients

• 6 large Egg whites
• 300 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 300 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 100 grams Fresh strawberries
• 2 whole Fresh kiwi
• 4 tablespoons Passionfruit pulp

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 120°C (250°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw a 20cm (8-inch) circle on the parchment paper as a guide, then flip it over so the pencil side faces down.

Step 2

In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.

Step 3

Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed. This process should take 8-10 minutes. The meringue should become glossy, and the sugar should dissolve completely (test by rubbing a small amount of meringue between your fingers).

Step 4

Sift the cornstarch over the meringue and gently fold it in with a spatula. Add the vinegar and vanilla extract, and fold gently until fully combined.

Step 5

Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into the circle guide. Create a slight dip in the center to hold the toppings later.

Step 6

Bake the meringue in the preheated oven for 75-90 minutes. It should be crisp on the outside and pale in color. Turn off the oven and leave the pavlova to cool completely inside with the door slightly ajar (at least 2 hours or overnight).

Step 7

Once cooled, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.

Step 8

Transfer the cooled pavlova to a serving plate and top with the whipped cream.

Step 9

Arrange the fresh strawberries (sliced), kiwi (peeled and sliced), and passionfruit pulp over the whipped cream.

Step 10

Serve immediately, and enjoy the light, airy texture of the pavlova with its fresh fruit topping.
