Chef John's Pavlova with Strawberries

Ingredients:

  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar, whipping until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
  3. Gently fold in the white vinegar and cornstarch until just combined.
  4. Pour the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a circle about 8-10 inches in diameter. Use the back of a spoon to create a slight well in the center for the toppings.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the meringue is firm to the touch and slightly golden. Turn off the oven and let the meringue cool inside with the door ajar.
  6. Once cooled, carefully remove the meringue from the parchment paper and transfer it to a serving platter.
  7. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  8. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the meringue, filling the center well generously.
  9. Top lavishly with sliced strawberries, and if desired, you can add a sprinkle of additional powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
  10. Slice and serve the Pavlova promptly to enjoy its delightful texture!
