How to Make Pavlova With Fruit Custard Filling

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating until glossy and stiff.
  3. Gently fold in cornstarch and vinegar.
  4. Spread meringue onto the prepared baking sheet in a circle about 10 inches in diameter. Create a slight well in the center to prevent cracking.
  5. Bake for 1 hour and 5 minutes. Then turn off oven and leave pavlova inside with the door slightly ajar for another hour. Let it cool completely in the oven.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the custard: In a saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch. Gradually whisk in milk and vanilla extract.
  7. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted.
  8. Once the pavlova is completely cool, fill the center with the prepared custard. Top with your favorite fresh fruits (berries, kiwi, etc.).
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
