Ingredients - Preparation Method:

3 egg whites 3/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 12 teaspoons white vinegar or 3 teaspoons cream of tartar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup heavy cream, -- whipped 3 cups sliced fresh tropical fruit Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Grease and flour an 9-inch pie plate or line a baking sheet with parchment and draw a 9-inch circle, using the plate as your guide. Whip the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. Beat in the sugar, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the mixture is stiff and shiny. Then, beat in the cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla. Fill the plate with the meringue mixture, hollowing out the center slightly. Or, mound mixture in center of circle. Spread meringue out to cover circle, then make a depression in the center. Bake for 13 to 12 hours, or until the meringue is very lightly brown. Cool slightly, then unmold and cool completely. (It may collapse slightly.) Just before serving, add sugar to taste to the whipped cream, add half the fruit, and fill the center of the Pavlova with it. Pile the remaining fruit on top.
