INGREDIENTS

  • Meringue Base

    • 🧁 1 cup superfine (castor) sugar
    • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
    • 1 pinch cream of tartar
    • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
    • 🧂 1 pinch salt
    • 1 dash vanilla extract

  • Topping

    • 🍌 2 small bananas, sliced
    • 1 cup caramel ice cream topping
    • 🍦 2 cups sweetened whipped cream
    • 🍫 1 tablespoon grated semisweet chocolate, for garnish

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil; trace an 8-inch circle onto the surface.

2

Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and cream of tartar together in a small bowl. Beat egg whites, vinegar, salt, and vanilla together in a separate glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in sugar mixture; continue beating until shiny and stiff peaks form.

3

Mound meringue into the traced circle on the prepared baking sheet; flatten top and smooth sides using a metal spatula.

4

Place in the preheated oven and immediately reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Bake until pale golden brown, 1 to 1 ½ hours.

5

Turn off oven; leave door slightly ajar with pavlova inside until completely cooled, about 1 hour.

6

Transfer cooled pavlova to a serving plate. Top with banana slices just before ready to serve; drizzle caramel sauce over top. Top with whipped cream; sprinkle with chocolate.
