Meringue – 6 large eggs room temperature – 1 1/2 cup sugar superfine – 1 1/2 tsp white wine vinegar – 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

Ingredients:

To make the pavlova – Preheat oven to 300° F. – In the stand mixer bowl with the whisk attachment, add in egg whites and whip on medium until soft peaks form. – Next, add sugar, a spoonful at a time, allowing each spoonful to incorporate before adding the next in. Continue to beat for about 5 minutes – Add in vinegar and vanilla bean paste and beat another 2 minutes.

Instructions:

– Scoop meringue onto a baking sheet in a large mound. Spread into an even layer and shape the sides up a little taller than the middle, creating a little well in the center to hold some of the filling later. – Decorate the sides, turn oven down to 250° F, and bake for about 2 hours. – Turn the oven off and leave the meringue in the closed oven to continue cooling, preferably overnight.

Tip: Don't open the oven at any time once you’ve baked it until you’re ready to assemble. This will help avoid cracks.
