Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drawing an 8-inch circle as a guide.
  2. Whip the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, then gradually add the sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold in the white vinegar and cornstarch into the whipped egg whites.
  4. Spoon the meringue onto the baking sheet using the drawn circle as a guide, smoothing the top and creating peaks.
  5. Bake the meringue for 1 hour; turn off the oven and leave it inside for another 2 hours to cool completely.
  6. Once cooled, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  7. Assemble the pavlova by topping the cooled meringue with whipped cream and arranging the mixed berries on top.
  8. Serve immediately for the best experience, enjoying it with sparkling wine or coffee.
