Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh fruits like berries or kiwi

Equipment

  • Electric mixer
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Spatula
  • Whisk
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  4. With the mixer running, slowly add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time.
  5. Once the mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form, gently fold in the vinegar and cornstarch.
  6. Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a circle about 8 inches in diameter.
  7. Bake the meringue for 1 hour and 15 minutes until it is dry and easily lifts from the parchment.
  8. Turn off the oven and leave the door ajar to allow the meringue to cool completely inside.
  9. Top with whipped cream and fresh fruit just before serving.

Notes

Ensure your mixing bowl is completely clean and dry; any fat will prevent the egg whites from whipping properly.
