Instructions
To make the Pavlova:
- Preheat the oven to 275° F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and the corn starch.
- Using your stand mixer, beat room temperature egg whites on high until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar/cornstarch mixture to the egg whites. Continue mixing until all sugar is added and stiff peaks form, about 10 minutes
- Add vanilla and lemon juice and mix until just combined. The eggs should look shiny with stiff peaks.
- Use a large spoon to scoop the meringue into 6 circles on the prepared baking sheet. Use the back of a teaspoon to shape the circles into a swirled shape. Indent the center of each meringue circle with a spoon to leave room for filling.
- Place the meringues in the oven and immediately turn the heat down to 250° F. Bake for 55 minutes. Turn off the oven, without opening the door, and let the meringues sit in the hot oven for 30 more minutes. Remove from the oven or open and allow to cool completely.
- To assemble the pavlovas, top with elderflower whipped cream, berry rosé sauce, fresh berries and mint.
To make the Berry Rosé Sauce:
- Add all ingredients to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries begin to break down. Use a wooden spoon to break down the berries even more. Remove from heat and cool.
To make the Elderflower Whipped Cream:
- Beat cold whipping cream with elderflower liqueur until soft peaks are formed about 2 minutes.
