| SERVES 8 SERVINGS |
| PREP TIME 10 MINS |
| COOK TIME 2 HOURS |
| Sugar | 1 ¼ cups, plus 2 teaspoons |
| Cornstarch | 2 tsp |
| Egg Whites, at room temperature | 4 each |
| Fresh Lemon Juice | 2 tsp |
| Kosher Salt | ½ tsp |
| Vanilla Extract | ½ tsp |
| Whipped Cream | 1 cup |
| Vanilla Yogurt | ½ cup |
| Blackberries | 3 oz |
| Raspberries | 3 oz |
| Sugar (for fruit) | 1 tbsp |
2. Place sugar in a food processor and run for 2 minutes to create superfine sugar. Remove 2 teaspoons of the sugar and stir with cornstarch in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Beat the egg whites with lemon juice and kosher salt using an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat until soft peaks form (about 2 minutes).
4. With the mixer running slowly add the remaining 1 1⁄4 cup sugar, 1 tbsp at a time. Add the cornstarch-sugar mixture and vanilla extract. Continue beating until glossy, stiff peaks form, another 1 to 2 minutes.
5. Scoop the meringue onto the parchment to make 6-8 small rounds. Using the back of a spoon or rubber spatula spread the rounds and create a slight concave center.
6. Place the meringue in the oven and reduce to 250°F. Bake the meringue for 1 and a half hours. Turn off the oven and let it dry in the oven for another 30 minutes.
7. Take meringue out of the oven and let cool. Meanwhile, fold whipped cream and vanilla yogurt together. Set aside. Place raspberries and blackberries in a bowl with 1 tbsp of sugar. Let macerate for 30 minutes.
8. Top center of pavlovas with whipped cream-yogurt mixture and berries. Serve and enjoy!
