Pavlova (Recipe)

I bought this packet of frozen berries and made some sauce out of it. I'd say using some fresh berries would be a better option. You know how frozen berries get kinda icy when you pop them into the freezer so it kinda ruin the taste. But making a compote (the sauce) out of it isn't a bad idea, after all.

Ingredients:
4 egg whites (No yolks at all!)
1 cup of castor sugar
1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch
1 teaspoon of vinegar (or cream of tartar)
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Directions:
1. Make sure your mixing bowl, your whisk attachments, and all the other utensils you're using for this dessert are clean and dry.
2. Preheat your oven to 130 degrees C.
3. Okay now you can move on to your egg whites. Beat the egg whites on medium speed until they hold soft peaks.
4. Continue beating on high speed, add sugar A TABLESPOON AT A TIME, until the meringue holds stiff and shiny peaks. Make sure all the sugar has dissolved, you can check by taking some of the meringue and rub it between your fingers. If it's not gritty, you're good to go!
5. Beat in vanilla extract. This is optional. If you don't feel like using it, you can always skip this step.
6. Now switch off your mixer, and sprinkle vinegar and cornstarch over the top of the meringue.
7. Get a rubber spatula and gently fold in the mixture.
8. Whether you've got a circle drawn on your parchment paper or not, spread the meringue on it and make sure the edges are slightly higher than the center.
9. Bake for 60 minutes.

Once you're done baking, turn off the oven and leave the door slightly ajar, leaving your pavlova to cool completely.

Patience is the key! Good luck!
