Pavlova With Berries

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 300F (150C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw a 9-inch circle on the parchment paper, and turn the parchment paper upside down, so you don't get any pencil on the pavlova.
2. 2
   In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat egg whites until you reach stiff peaks. Add the sugar gradually, a couple tablespoons at a time, while still beating the egg whites. The egg whites/meringue will become thick and glossy. Gently fold in cornstarch, vanilla extract and lemon juice.
3. 3
   Spoon the meringue inside the drawn circle on the parchment paper. Spread the meringue working from the center towards the edge. You want to make it look like a bowl.
4. 4
   Bake the pavlova for 11/2 hour. Remove from oven. Cool on a wire rack before adding whipped cream and berries or your favorite topping. Enjoy!
