Creating delicious Mini Pavlovas might seem challenging, but by following these straightforward steps, you’ll achieve the perfect result:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whip Egg Whites: In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
3. Add Sugar Gradually: Slowly add the granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat until the meringue is glossy and stiff peaks form.
4. Incorporate Vanilla, Vinegar, and Cornstarch: Gently fold in the vanilla extract, white vinegar, and cornstarch using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
5. Shape the Meringues: Spoon or pipe the meringue mixture onto the prepared parchment paper, forming small circles about 3 inches in diameter with a slight dip in the center for the filling.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. The meringues should be dry to the touch and can be easily lifted off the parchment paper.
7. Cool: Turn off the oven and let the pavlovas cool completely inside with the door slightly ajar. This helps prevent cracking.
8. Whip the Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
9. Fill the Pavlovas: Once cooled, gently top each meringue with the whipped cream, filling the center.
10. Top with Fresh Fruits: Garnish the whipped cream with fresh fruits of your choice and a sprig of mint if desired.

These simple steps will enable you to craft beautiful Mini Pavlovas that will impress everyone at the table!
