Baking Lesson | How to make the Best Meringue Recipe and Pavlova Dessert from scratch

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: whipped topping

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Separate 8 eggs, placing egg whites in one bowl and egg yolks in another.

Beat the egg whites with a mixture of 2 cups sugar (1 cup granulated and 1 cup powdered), 1/4 cup salt, and 1/4 cup cream of tartar.

Start mixing at low speed, adding a couple of tablespoons of sugar, then increase speed while continuing to add sugar.

Add 1 teaspoon of almond extract while mixing.

Beat the egg whites for 7 minutes and 28 seconds until stiff peaks form.

Transfer the meringue into a piping bag and pipe onto the lined baking sheets.

Bake the meringues for 1 hour without opening the oven door.

Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool inside for another hour.

To make the mini Pavlovas, beat 2 cups of heavy cream to 95% completion.

Mix the cooled pastry cream with the whipped cream until smooth.

Pipe the cream onto the cooled meringues and decorate with berries.
