Ingredients	For the meringue base 6 egg whites (room temperature) 300 g granulated sugar 1 tsp white vinegar or lemon juice 1 tbsp cornstarch A pinch of salt 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional) For the filling 400 ml heavy cream (cold) 2 tbsp powdered sugar (or to taste) 1 tsp vanilla sugar (optional) For decoration 400 g fresh strawberries Fresh mint leaves (optional) Optional: other berries (raspberries, blueberries)
Method	Making the Meringue Preheat and Prepare Preheat your oven to 120°C (250°F, no fan). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and draw a 22 cm (9-inch) circle as a guide for the Pavlova shape. Beat Egg Whites In a large clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt on medium speed until they become foamy and begin to hold shape. Add Sugar Gradually Add the sugar one tablespoon at a time while continuing to beat. Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar is fully dissolved. Incorporate Extras Gently fold in the vinegar, vanilla extract (if using), and cornstarch. Mix until just combined to stabilize the meringue. Shape the Meringue Spoon the meringue onto the prepared tray, forming a circle with a slight dip in the center to hold the cream and fruit. Bake and Cool Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Then turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the meringue cool completely inside the oven to avoid cracking. Whipped Cream Filling Whip the Cream In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla sugar (if using) until soft to medium-stiff peaks form. Do not overwhip. Fruit Preparation Prepare the Strawberries Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries in halves or quarters depending on size. Optionally, toss with a little sugar or lemon juice for extra flavor. Assembly Assemble the Pavlova Spread the whipped cream over the cooled meringue. Top with strawberries and other berries if desired. Garnish with mint leaves or dust with powdered sugar.
Note	Assemble just before serving to keep the meringue crisp. You can prepare the meringue, whipped cream, and fruit in advance and store them separately.
