How To Make:
Begin by preheating your oven to 220°F.
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gradually add the sweetener, blending until glossy.
Incorporate the remaining ingredients until evenly combined.
Transfer the meringue mixture onto a prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a circular pavlova.
Bake for approximately 90 minutes, or until the pavlova achieves a golden hue and firm edges.
Allow the pavlova to cool in the oven with the door closed.
Meanwhile, whip up a batch of our decadent whipped cream using our simple recipe.
Once cooled, spread the whipped cream atop the pavlova and generously garnish with fresh berries.
Tips for Perfection:

Ensure the mixing bowl is impeccably clean for optimal egg white whipping.
Avoid opening the oven door during baking to maintain consistency.
