Although this dessert combines several different techniques, once you master making meringue, this dessert is a cinch!

Summer Berry Pavlovas

Ingredients:

2 egg whites

1/2 c + 2 T granulated sugar

1/2 t cornstarch

1 t vinegar

1/2 t vanilla extract

3/4 c heavy cream

1 T powdered sugar

Kosher salt

1 pint berries of choice (the fresher, the better)

Extra granulated sugar

Directions:

  1.  Pre-heat the oven to 250 F degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Beat egg whites and a pinch of salt to soft peaks. Sprinkle in cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla. Fold to combine.

  3. Scoop mounds of meringue into 6 rounds on the baking sheet. Bake 35-40 minutes until firm and dry but not browned. Let cool.

  4. Whisk cream and powdered sugar to soft peaks. Top meringues with whipped cream and berries.

Optional: Combine berries with a spoonful or two of sugar a few hours before serving. This is called maceration and sweetens the berries while creating a berry-flavored syrup.
