How to Make Mini Pavlovas Individual Serve Pavlova

  1. Preheat oven to 130°C (260°F). Line two baking trays with parchment paper and draw six 10cm circles on each sheet.
  2. In a spotlessly clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites (room temperature) with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar using an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form. This may take 5-7 minutes.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup (200g) caster sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Do not rush this step!
  4. Continue beating until all the sugar is incorporated and the meringue is thick, glossy, and holds stiff peaks.
  5. Gently fold in 2 tablespoons cornflour, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract using a large metal spoon.
  6. Spoon the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking paper, using the drawn circles as a guide.
  7. Bake on the lowest oven shelves for 75 minutes, or until the meringues are crisp and dry.
  8. Turn off the oven and leave the pavlovas inside with the oven door slightly ajar to cool completely (at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight).
  9. Once cooled, top each mini pavlova with whipped cream (dairy or non-dairy), your favorite fresh fruit, and desired toppings like flaked chocolate or crushed peppermint crisp.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
