Cherry Pavlova
- 6 large egg whites
- 1 cup sugar regular white sugar
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups cherries pitted and frozen
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- In a bowl, mix together frozen cherries and sugar.
- If you don't have frozen cherries, just freeze the fresh pitted ones, then mix with sugar.
- Let sit at room temperature for about 1 hour until the some of the cherry juice comes out cherry.
- Give it a gentle mix again, cover and put in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- In a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, draw a rough 9-inch circle.
- Set aside.
- In a large clean and dry mixing bowl with an electric whisk, add the egg whites.
- Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form, start from low speed, gradually increase to medium, medium high and high.
- Takes about 4 minutes.
- Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, keep whisking under high speed, until all the sugar has been added; and the meringue is thick and glossy, sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
- Turn off the whisk, and rub a little bit meringue between your fingers, if feel gritty, turn on the whisk and keep whisking until the sugar completely dissolves.
- With a rubber spatula, fold in the vanilla extract, white vinegar and cornstarch.
- Gently spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet to make it into a rough circle.
- Bake in preheated oven until dry to touch, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Turn off the oven, leave the door ajar, and allow the meringue to cool completely in the oven, about 1 hour.
- Once it's cooled, transfer onto a cake stand or a large cake plate.
- Whip the cream until light and fluffy.
- Place the cream on top of the pavlova, spoon the saucy cherries over the cream.
- The filling will make pavlova cave in, which is a great moment to watch.
- Cut and Serve.
