Instructions
Preheat oven to 300°F.
Trace a 10” diameter circle on a piece of parchment paper with a pen. Trace a 5.5” circle in the centre of the large circle. Place the parchment paper upside down on a pizza tray. Trim the edges of the paper if necessary.
In a large clean bowl, whisk egg whites until stiff peaks appear.
Gradually add sugar ¼ of a cup at a time, beating after each addition. Once the sugar has dissolved, beat on high for three minutes.
Combine the cornstarch, white vinegar and vanilla in a small bowl and stir.
Add to the egg whites and sugar and whisk until just combined.
Transfer mixture to a large piping bag or gallon ziplock bag with a hole cut into the corner.
Pipe 10 evenly spaced mounds onto the parchment paper in the circle, using the traced ring as a guide.
Once you’ve piped your mounds, use the back of a spoon to create a small hollow in each mound.
Reduce oven temperature to 250°F.
Place the pavlova wreath in the oven, on a centre rack.
Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes. The pavlova should be dry to the touch and just starting to brown lightly.
Turn off the oven and leave the pavlova to cool for one to two hours with the oven door closed.
Meanwhile, whisk the heavy cream and vanilla until it’s smooth.
Take pavlova out of the oven and cool for a further hour or until it’s ready to be served.
To serve, spoon the cream into the hollow of the pavlovas and top with your fresh fruit and mint leaves.
