Pavlova's Pavlova is a classic dessert recipe with a twist. Named after the famous ballerina Anna Pavlova, who was said to be as light and delicate as the dessert itself, Pavlova's Pavlova is a meringue-based dessert that is crisp on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside. This version of the classic recipe is made with white vinegar and cornstarch, which help to stabilize the meringue and give it its signature texture. It is typically served with whipped cream and fresh fruit, although it can also be topped with a variety of other toppings, such as chocolate, caramel, or fruit compote.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.	In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat.
3.	Once all the sugar has been added, beat for an additional minute or until the mixture is shiny and stiff.
4.	Gently fold in the vinegar, vanilla extract, and cornstarch.
5.	Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a 9-inch circle with a small well in the center.
6.	Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour or until the outside is crisp and the inside is slightly chewy.
7.	Turn off the oven and leave the Pavlova in for an additional 30 minutes.
8.	Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
