Instructions

Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw a 9-inch circle. Inside that, draw a smaller 5-inch circle to create a wreath guide.

In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved.

Gently fold in cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla extract.

Spoon the meringue onto the parchment, shaping it into a wreath using the circle guides. Create swirls or peaks for texture.

Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the pavlova cool inside with the door closed for another hour.

Once cool, whip the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.

Spoon whipped cream over the pavlova and top with fresh berries, pomegranate seeds, and mint leaves.
