Ingredients

• 4 large egg whites
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 cup sliced strawberries
• 1 cup pomegranate arils
• 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
• 1 cup clementine segments

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form.
3. Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed. Beat until the mixture becomes thick and glossy.
4. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, white vinegar, and vanilla extract. Gently fold this mixture into the egg white mixture using a spatula.
5. Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a circular shape with slightly raised edges. Smooth the top with the back of the spoon.
6. Bake the pavlova in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the outside is dry and crisp. Turn off the oven and let the pavlova cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar.
7. In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
8. Carefully transfer the pavlova to a serving plate. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the pavlova, leaving a small border around the edges.
9. Arrange the sliced strawberries, pomegranate arils, kiwi, and clementine segments on top of the whipped cream.
10. Serve the pavlova immediately and enjoy!
