Dessert Easy Mini Pavlovas - Homemade Meringues Recipe

Hey everyone, it's Natasha of NatashasKitchen.com and today I'm gonna teach you how to make a pavlova and not just any pavlova, individual pavlovas. It's a meringue dessert that's crisp on the outside, marshmallowy soft and chewy on the inside and they completely melt in your mouth. You guys are gonna love this easy recipe. Start by beating six egg whites on high speed for about a minute or until you have soft peaks. Now with the mixer on, gradually add one and a half cups of sugar. Continue mixing for 10 minutes until it's smooth, glossy and stiff peaks form. That looks perfect. Now we're gonna quickly fold in half a tablespoon of lemon juice and half a tablespoon of vanilla extract. Next, add two teaspoons of cornstarch and mix just until well blended. Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag with a large open star tip. I'm using the Wilton 1M. Now pipe it onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Start in the center and work outwards to make a rose and then build it up. This yields about 15 meringues and if you use a large 3-quarter baking sheet, they all fit on one pan. Use the back of a spoon to create little bowls. This gives your cream and berries a place to sit. Now into the oven they go at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for an hour and 15 minutes. Then turn the oven off and leave them in there another 30 minutes with the door closed. Once they're done, slide them off the baking sheet and let them cool completely to room temperature. When you're ready to assemble, combine one and a half cups of cold heavy whipping cream with two tablespoons of sugar. Beat those on high speed for about two minutes or until thick, fluffy and spreadable. I'm using the very same frosting tip to pipe on generous amounts of the cream. Then add a whole bunch of berries and that's really all there is to it. On to the best part of the show, the taste test. Yeah, outside I'm like, yay, I made pavlova! Inside I'm like, no! Okay, back to the taste test. This one looks extra enormous. Here we go. Wow, it completely melts in your mouth. I love the flavor combination. You've got that sweet tangy from the berries. It is fantastic. I know you guys are gonna love this recipe. If you enjoyed this video, give me a thumbs up below.
