Add a festive sweet finale to your July 4th spread with a patriotic pavlova piled high with fresh berries and watermelon stars.
Ingredients
- 1 cup superfine granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- 3 Tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 ºF and line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the granulated sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand-mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites only (reserve yolks for another use) with a pinch of salt on medium speed until they hold stiff peaks. Add the water (mixture will loosen) and continue beating until the whites again hold stiff peaks.
- Increase the mixer speed to medium-high. Add the sugar mixture, one tablespoon at a time, to the egg whites, beating until all the sugar has been incorporated. Beat 1 additional minute.
- Increase the mixer speed to high. Add the vinegar and beat until meringue is thick and glossy, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the meringue to the prepared sheet tray, spreading it into a roughly 8-inch diameter circle (it will spread some as it bakes) with the edges slightly higher than the center in order to create a base for the whipped cream.
- Bake the meringue for 45 minutes until it is pale golden. (Do not open the oven while meringue is baking.)
- Turn the oven off after 45 minutes and prop open the oven door with a wooden spoon, allowing the meringue to sit for 1 hour inside the oven.
