Pavlova

The heavenly dessert that Australia and New Zealand are still contesting:each claiming they are the rightful birthplace! The trick to getting a good meringue is to prechill the mixing bowl and the egg whites must be at room temperature!

3 egg whites
1 1/4 cup sugar
3 teaspoons cornflour
3 tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon floral vinegar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Oven should be pre-heated to 180 Celcius. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add water and then sugar while still beating. Mixture should be stiff and glossy. While continuing to beat, add the cornflour, then the floral vinegar then finally add the vanilla. Pile the meringue onto wet greaseproof paper on a baking tray. Shape into a round cake shape - about 20cm diameter. Place the baking pan in the centre of the oven.

After 5 minutes turn the oven off. Do not open the oven door. Leave the meringue in the oven as it is cooling, for an hour. Carefully transport the cooled meringue to a serving platter and serve covered in real whipped cream and topped with fresh fruits such as strawberries, cherries,raspberries, kiwi, and grapes. For a delightful Valentine dessert...drizzle with chocolate before serving!
