This dessert features a crispy meringue base, a layer of whipped cream, and a generous amount of fresh berries and brown sugar.

THREE-LAYER BERRY AND BROWN SUGAR PAVLOVA

Three-Layer Berry and Brown Sugar Pavlova image

By its very nature, a Pavlova is a little wild-as proved by these three tiers of airy meringue, which crack and crumble to reveal marshmallowy interiors while the berries' juices puddle all over drifts of whipped cream. And that playful mix of textures and flavors sure tastes delicious. Meringues aren't usually made with moist brown sugar, but here it adds a deeper kind of sweetness. Baking them in cake pans, another unusual technique, helps these meringues crisp up.

Ingredients

For meringue:
Confectioners sugar for dusting
1 cup superfine granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
3/4 cup egg whites (from 5 to 6 large eggs) at room temperature 30 minutes
For berries:
1 1/2 pounds strawberries, trimmed and quartered
1 pound blackberries
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
For cream:
1 cup chilled heavy cream
1/3 cup chilled sour cream

Steps:

Make meringue:
Preheat oven to 275°F with rack in middle. Lightly butter 3 (8-inch) round cake pans, then dust sides of pans with confectioners sugar, knocking out excess. Line bottom of each pan with a round of parchment paper.
Pulse superfine sugar, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a food processor until well combined.
Stir together vanilla and vinegar in a small bowl.
Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer at medium speed until they hold soft peaks. Increase speed to medium-high and add sugar mixture 1 tablespoon at a time. After all sugar has been added, beat 1 minute more. Add vinegar mixture, then beat at high speed until meringue is glossy and holds stiff peaks, about 5 minutes. Spoon meringue into pans (about 2 1/2 cups per pan) and smooth tops.
Bake until meringues have a crisp crust and feel dry to the touch, about 1 hour (insides will still be marshmallow-like).
Turn oven off and prop door open slightly with a wooden spoon. Cool meringues in oven 1 hour. (Meringues may sink slightly and crack while cooling.)
Run knife along sides of cake pans and carefully turn meringues out of pans. Carefully peel off parchment (meringues will be fragile and the crust may crack further). Carefully turn right side up.
Macerate fruit while meringues cool:
Toss berries with sugar and let stand at room temperature until ready to use (up to 1 hour).
Assemble dessert:
Beat heavy cream with sour cream using an electric mixer until it just holds soft peaks. Put 1 meringue on a serving plate and spread one third of whipped cream over it. Spoon one third of fruit (with juice) over top. Repeat with remaining meringues, cream, and fruit.

Tips:

Use fresh berries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh berries, you can use frozen berries, but thaw them completely before using.
Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before you start whipping them. This will help them whip up more easily and create a stiffer meringue.
Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will be dry and crumbly, and they won't hold their shape well.
When you're folding the egg whites into the berry mixture, be gentle. Don't stir too vigorously, or you'll deflate the egg whites.
Bake the pavlova in a low oven for a long time. This will help it dry out and crisp up without browning.

Conclusion:

This three-layer berry and brown sugar pavlova is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy meringue, creamy filling, and fresh berries, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
