Ingredients

6 egg whites (room temperature)
300 g caster sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp white vinegar or lemon juice
300 g mascarpone
300 ml cold heavy cream
Fresh berries (raspberries, cranberries, or mixed berries)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 110°C (230°F).
In a mixing bowl, whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add caster sugar while whisking until thick and glossy. Gently fold in cornstarch and vinegar.
Draw a circle on baking paper on a baking tray. Spoon mounds of meringue along the circle, shaping into a wreath.
Bake at 110°C for 30 minutes, then reduce to 90–95°C (195–205°F) and bake for an additional hour without opening the oven door.
Turn off the oven after baking and leave the pavlova inside with the door slightly ajar to cool completely.
Whip mascarpone and heavy cream until firm peaks form. Fill each well of the cooled pavlova with whipped cream mixture and top with fresh berries.
