👩🍳 Preparation of the tricolor pavlova

1. Prepare the meringue

1. Preheat the oven to 120°C (fan-assisted).

2. Beat the egg whites until stiff.

3. Add the sugar in three batches, whisking well between each addition to obtain a smooth, glossy meringue.

4. Gently stir in the cornstarch and vinegar.

5. On a baking sheet lined with baking paper, form a disc (approximately 20 cm in diameter), making a slight hollow in the center.

6. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes , then leave to cool in the oven with the door ajar.

2. Whip the whipped cream

1. Whip the very cold cream with the icing sugar and vanilla until you get stiff whipped cream.

2. Keep cool.

3. Dress the pavlova

1. Once the meringue is completely cold, spread the whipped cream in the center.

2. Arrange the fruits harmoniously:
   🔴 Raspberries/strawberries on one side
   ⚪ Visible whipped cream + coconut or meringue in the center
   🔵 Blueberries on the other side

You can alternate colors in lines or circles depending on the desired effect!

💡 Tips

• The meringue can be made the day before.

• The pavlova is assembled at the last moment (just before serving) to keep the meringue crisp.

• You can add a red fruit coulis for extra indulgence.
