Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl on medium speed with an electric mixer until until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Slowly add sugar, cornstarch, and cream of tartar and continue beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes. Add vanilla extract and salt and beat until combined, about 30 seconds.
- Scoop the meringue with a spring-hinged scoop onto the prepared baking sheet and shape into individual rounds about 3 inches in diameter. Use the back of a spoon to create an indentation in the center of the meringue.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the meringue is dry to the touch, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Transfer the parchment with the meringues on it to a wire rack and allow to cool. Once meringues are cool to the touch, remove from parchment and place directly on the rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
- When ready to serve, top each meringue with whipped cream and garnish with fresh berries.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees with racks in the upper and lower third. Using a 3-inch bowl or round cutter, trace 6 circles on each of 2 sheets of parchment paper. Transfer each sheet of paper to a baking sheet tracing-side down.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites and a pinch of salt on medium-high speed until soft, glossy peaks form. With mixer running, add granulated sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat meringue on high until stiff and glossy, about 5 minutes more. Sprinkle in cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla; gently fold to combine.
- Using two spoons, scoop a mound of meringue in the center of each of the circles. Use the back of one spoon to create an indentation in the center of each mound. Transfer baking sheets to oven. Bake until firm and dry to the touch but not browned, 35 to 40 minutes. Turn off oven and let meringues cool for 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk cream and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Top meringues with a dollop of whipped cream and a spoonful of blueberries. Sprinkle lemon zest over berries. Serve immediately.
MINI STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PAVLOVAS
Steps:
- For the meringues: Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch and set aside.
- Wipe a metal, glass or ceramic bowl out with paper towel and add in the egg whites and salt. Using a hand mixer, whip the egg whites on high until soft, foamy peaks form. With the mixer running, slowly sprinkle in the sugar mixture and continue to whip until the meringue is glossy and stiff peaks hold when the beaters are lifted out of the mixture.
- Whip in the vanilla. Using a large spoon, drop four large dollops of the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, creating an indentation in the middle of each.
- Bake for 1 hour. Turn the oven off and allow the meringues to sit in the oven until cooled completely, about 30 minutes.
- For the toppings: Meanwhile, combine the strawberries and rhubarb in a small saucepan with the wine or water and 1/4 cup sugar. Place over medium-low heat and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fruit starts to break down and becomes jammy. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature. Cover and store in the fridge until ready to assemble.
- Just before serving, whip the cream with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and the vanilla. To serve, dollop whipped cream in the center of each pavlova and top with the fruit and a scattering of toasted almonds.
EASY PAVLOVA
In this elegant dessert, a crisp white meringue layer is filled with whipped cream and fresh fruit. To keep your meringue from being flat and grainy, try beating egg whites until stiff but not dry. Overbeaten egg whites lose volume and deflate when folded into other ingredients. Also, when beating in sugar, beat in about 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well between each addition. Then beat until meringue is thick, white and glossy. Be absolutely sure not a particle of grease or egg yolk gets into the whites.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw a 9-inch circle on the parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gradually add in the sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until thick and glossy. Gently fold in vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
- Spoon mixture inside the circle drawn on the parchment paper. Working from the center, spread mixture toward the outside edge, building edge slightly. This should leave a slight depression in the center.
- Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form; set aside. Remove the paper, and place meringue on a flat serving plate. Fill the center of the meringue with whipped cream, and top with kiwifruit slices.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 160° C.
- For the pavlova, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, then gently add in the sugar. The meringue that forms will start to look glossy. Add the cornflour, vanilla and vinegar and use a spatula to gently fold in.
- Spoon the meringue into small circles, about the width of an average coffee cup, onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Use a spoon to form a slight dent in each circle, making the sides a little higher than the middle. Reduce the oven heat to 130° C and bake for 30 minutes, then turn off the heat and remove from the oven to cool.
- When cooled, assemble: spray a dollop of the whipping cream into the well of each meringue and top with the passion fruit coulis, kiwi and blueberries and finish off with mint.
- Serve.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your pavlovas the best flavor and texture.
- Whisk the Egg Whites Properly: The egg whites need to be whisked until they are stiff peaks. This will help the pavlovas rise properly.
- Do Not Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pavlovas tough.
- Bake the Pavlovas at a Low Temperature: This will help them to cook evenly without browning too much.
- Let the Pavlovas Cool Completely: This will help them to set properly.
- Decorate the Pavlovas Just Before Serving: This will help to prevent the decorations from wilting.
Conclusion:
Mini pavlovas are a delicious and elegant dessert that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings. With a little planning and effort, you can create beautiful and delicious mini pavlovas that will impress your guests.
