Strawberry Pavlova

Instructions

Meringue Recipe
Preheat the oven to 300º F. With a marker, mark a 7-inch circle on a piece of parchment paper. Flip the parchment over and place on a baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the egg whites with a pinch of salt and beat with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Add 3 tablespoons water and keep beating until you get soft peaks again. Increase the mixer speed to high. Add the sugar mixture 1 tablespoon at a time and continue to beat for 1 minute. Add the vinegar and beat until the meringue is glossy and holds stiff peaks, about 5 minutes.

Spread the meringue inside the marked circle on the parchment, making the edges slightly higher than the inside of the circle (it should look like a "crater"). Bake until the meringue is pale golden and has a crust, about 45 minutes; the inside should still be
marshmallow-like. Turn off the oven, prop the door
open and let the meringue dry for 1 hour.

To serve, place the Pavlova on a serving dish. Top with Lyons Frozen Sliced Strawberry Topping and garnish with fresh mint. If guests desire a more decedent treat drizzle with Lyons Fountain Supreme
Chocolate Sauce.
