Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 egg whites at room temperature
  • 1 cup caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup heavy cream for topping
  • 1 cup mixed fresh fruit for topping

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition until the meringue is stiff and glossy.
  4. Gently fold in the vinegar, vanilla extract, and cornstarch.
  5. Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a circle with a slight indentation in the center.
  6. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the meringue cool completely in the oven with the door slightly ajar.
  7. Once cool, top with whipped cream and fresh fruit. Serve immediately.
