Festive Mini Pavlova Wreaths

These charming mini pavlovas are made with whipped egg whites and sugar, baked until crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Each wreath can be decorated with a variety of toppings, such as fresh berries, kiwi, and whipped cream, making them a versatile and visually appealing dessert.

Ingredients

• 4 large egg whites
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• Fresh fruits for topping (e.g., berries, kiwi, pomegranate seeds)
• Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Meringue: In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Mix in the vanilla extract, vinegar, and cornstarch until well combined.
3. Shape the Wreaths: Spoon the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small circles and creating a wreath shape with a hollow center. Use a spatula to smooth the edges.
4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely.
5. Prepare the Topping: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
6. Assemble: Once the meringues are cool, fill the centers with whipped cream and top with fresh fruits. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
7. Serve: Arrange the mini pavlova wreaths on a serving platter and enjoy as a festive dessert.
