Try This Pavlova From Kool Beanz Cafe

The Perfect Pavlova

Serves 15

• 1 1/4 cup egg whites at room temperature
• 1 3/4 cup sugar
• 4 1/4 tablespoons corn starch
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• Whipped cream
• Fresh fruit
• Sorbet

PREPARATION: Preheat oven to 212 degrees. Whisk egg whites and dry ingredients for 5 minutes in a standing mixer at the second-fastest speed. Add the white vinegar and whisk 1 minute at the fastest speed until peaks form. Pour mixture into a piping bag and, on a pan lined with parchment paper, pipe the meringue into 15, 4-inch circles, leaving a hollow center. Bake for 2 hours. Let them rest in the oven for at least 2 hours after baking without opening the door. Top with whipped cream, fresh fruit of choice and a small scoop of complementary sorbet flavor.
