Equipment

1 Electric mixer For whipping the meringue
1 Baking sheet For baking the meringue shell
1 Parchment paper To line the baking sheet

Ingredients

4 large Egg whites At room temperature
1 cup Caster sugar
1 tsp White vinegar
1 tbsp Cornstarch
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 cup Heavy cream Chilled
2 tbsp Powdered sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 cup Mixed fresh fruits Such as berries, kiwi, and passion fruit

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the caster sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold in the white vinegar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract.
Spoon the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a circle, creating a slight well in the center.
Bake for 60-90 minutes or until the meringue is crisp but still has a slight marshmallow-like center.
Turn off the oven and let the meringue cool completely in the oven with the door slightly ajar.
In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Spoon the whipped cream onto the cooled meringue base.
Top with mixed fresh fruits just before serving.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, you can use coconut cream instead of heavy cream for the topping.
