Servings: 15 Mini pavlovas
Calories: 190kcal
Ingredients
- 6 Egg whites From large eggs, Room temperature
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Use clear extract to prevent discoloration
- ½ tablespoon Lemon juice Or vinegar
- 2 cups Homemade whipped cream Can replace with Chantilly Cream
- 4 cups Fresh berries Such as blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries e.t.c. Washed, and patted dry
- 1 cup Strawberry jam Warmed in microwave
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, add egg whites and beat them until soft peaks form.
- Then, start adding sugar and cornstarch gradually while the mixer is still running.
- Add vanilla extract, lemon juice.
- Continue beating until stiff peaks form. This can take 8-10 minutes and the batter will be very smooth and glossy. Test it by rubbing mixture between 2 fingers. It should not be gritty.
- Fill a piping bag with this mixture and attach Wilton's Tip 1M (big star tip).
- Pipe meringue nests that are about 3 inches in diameter on a large baking tray, lined with parchment paper.
- Use a spoon to indent the center slightly. This will create space for filling later.
- Bake at 225 degrees F for 1 hr and 15 minutes. Do not open the oven during this time period!
- When the baking time is over, turn off the oven but DON'T open the door.
- Let it cool in the oven and dry out further for about 30 minutes.
- Finally, remove tray from oven and allow these meringues to cool to room temperature.
- Place the mini meringues on individual serving dishes.
- Fill with whipped cream, top with fresh berries, drizzle slightly warm strawberry jam on top.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Read all my tips above.
- Storing leftovers is not recommended since the toppings will make the meringue base soggy.
