Pavlova with passion fruit

By taniaf

Ingredients

• 4 large egg whites, room temp
• salt
• 1 cup plus 2 tbsp superfine sugar
• 2 tsp white wine vinegar
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 passion fruits, halved
• whipped cream

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300. Draw four 4 inch circles or one eight inch circle onto a sheet of parchment paper, then flip over onto a baking sheet.
Whisk egg whites and a pinch of salt with a mixer on medium-high until soft peaks form. With machine running, add sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Sprinkle in vinegar, cornstarch, and vanilla, whisk until combined.
With a rubber spatula, mound meringue onto parchment, following outline. Evenly spread out towards edges.
Transfer to oven, and reduce temp to 200. Bake until lifts off parchment, 1.5 hours.
Turn off oven. Let cool completely in oven to 1-2 hours. Once cool and dry, scoop out passion fruit over tops. Garnish with whipped cream. Serve immediately.
