Difficulty Level: Intermediate
Ingredients:
- 4 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Fresh fruits (berries, kiwi, passion fruit) for topping
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 250°F (120°C). Ensure the air fryer basket is clean.
- Prepare Egg Whites:
- In a large, clean, and dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gradually Add Sugar:
- Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. Beat until glossy and stiff peaks form.
- Add Vinegar and Cornstarch:
- Gently fold in the white vinegar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Form the Pavlova:
- Spoon the pavlova mixture onto a parchment paper-lined air fryer basket, creating a well in the center for the toppings.
- Air Fry:
- Place the basket in the preheated air fryer and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes or until the pavlova is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The pavlova should easily lift off the parchment paper.
- Cool:
- Allow the pavlova to cool completely before transferring it to a serving plate.
- Whip the Cream:
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble:
- Spoon the whipped cream into the well of the pavlova. Top with fresh fruits of your choice.
