Mini Pavlovas with Berries

Print Recipe

Mini Pavlovas with Berries are delicate meringue nests with crisp exteriors and soft, marshmallow-like centers, topped with whipped cream and fresh berries for a light and elegant dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for cream)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar is dissolved.
  4. Gently fold in the vinegar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract.
  5. Spoon the meringue onto the baking sheet, forming small nests with an indent in the center.
  6. Bake for 60-70 minutes until dry to the touch. Turn off the oven and let the pavlovas cool completely inside with the door slightly open.
  7. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  8. Top each cooled pavlova with whipped cream and a mixture of fresh berries.
  9. Garnish with mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure the mixing bowl is free of any grease for best meringue results.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent cracking.
  • Prepare pavlovas a day ahead and assemble just before serving for best texture.
