Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large egg whites, room temperature
1 1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries, for serving
1 1/4 cup creme fraiche
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Use a pencil to trace a 10-inch-diameter circle on a piece of parchment. Trace a 6-inch-diameter circle in center of larger circle. Place on a baking sheet, tracing-side down.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Beat in cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla.
  • Divide mixture between two large piping bags fitted with a 3/4-inch plain round tip. Pipe 10 evenly spaced mounds (each about 2 1/4 inches in diameter and 2 inches high) onto parchment in a circle using traced ring as a guide. With the back of a spoon, create a hollow in each mound. Bake until ring easily lifts off parchment, about 1 hour, 10 minutes. Turn off oven; let stand in oven 1 hour.
  • Gently roll some of the berries in a damp paper towel, then roll in remaining 3 tablespoons sugar to lightly coat.
  • To serve, whisk creme fraiche until thickened, then fold in lemon zest. Whisk cream to medium peaks, then fold into creme fraiche; divide among hollows in pavlovas. Garnish with sugared and unsugared berries.

I had some trouble getting the meringue stiff enough, but other than that, the pavlova wreath turned out great. I think I'll try using a different meringue recipe next time.

This pavlova wreath was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my guests loved it. I think I'll try making it again with less sugar next time.
