Raspberry Kiwi Pavlova
- 4 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1 cup fine sugar
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 12 tablespoon cornstarch
- 12 teaspoon raspberry extract
- 12 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 peeled and sliced kiwi fruits
- 1 pint raspberries
- Preheat oven to 275F and put rack in middle of oven.
- Line a small baking sheet with foil and set aside.
- Using a squeaky clean metal bowl, beat the egg whites with a squeaky clean electric mixer on medium speed.
- Beat until you can form soft peaks.
- Add the sugar to the egg whites tablespoon by tablespoon, beating after each addition.
- At this point, the egg whites should be glossy stiff peaks.
- Sprinkle the cornstarch and vinegar on the meringue and fold in gently.
- Add the raspberry extract and fold into the mixture, again gently.
- Spread the meringue on the foil covered baking sheet in a 7" circle or until about 1 inch high.
- Make shallow indentation in meringue, making sure sides are higher than middle.
- Bake the meringue for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and crack the oven door open so meringue cools slowly.
- Cool completely in oven.
- Meringue will look cracked on top, which is exactly right!
- Just before serving, take the pavlova out of the oven and remove it gently from the foil.
- Place on plate.
- Whip the cream with the vanilla extract until it forms peaks.
- Prepare the fruit by washing the berries and peel and slice the kiwifruit.
- Make sure the berries are not wet.
- Gently dry with paper towel.
- Gently spoon whipped cream into shallow indentation in pavlova.
- Arrange raspberries and kiwifuit on top of whipped cream.
