Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp red gel food coloring
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Edible rose petals for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw an 8-inch circle.
- In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add caster sugar, whisking until stiff peaks form. Fold in cornstarch and red food coloring until combined.
- Spoon meringue onto the prepared circle, creating a slight well in the center. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for about 1 hour or until crisp outside and slightly soft inside. Turn off the oven and leave the door ajar to cool completely.
- While cooling, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form—avoid overwhipping.
- Once cooled, transfer the pavlova to a serving platter, fill with whipped cream, and garnish with rose petals.
