Fruit Pavlova with Bailey’s Irish Cream Topping

Yield
8 Servings


Ingredients
4 egg whites (room temperature) 4
1 ˝  cups sugar (divided in half) 300 mL
1 tsp vinegar 5 mL
1 tsp vanilla 5 mL
1 tsp cornstarch 5 mL
2 cups whipping cream 500 mL
3 Tbsp icing sugar 45 mL
2-3 Tbsp Bailey's Irish Cream 30-45 mL
4 cups fresh fruit (strawberries, kiwi, blueberries) 1 L


Directions
Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Prepare cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper. If desired, trace an 8-inch circle on paper to use as a guide for shaping meringue. In glass bowl, beat together egg whites until foamy. Continue beating while adding 1 Tbsp (15 mL) of sugar at a time until half of the sugar (3/4 cup/175 mL) has been added. Beat for about 5 minutes or until peaks become stiff and glossy. Fold in vinegar, vanilla and cornstarch. Continue beating for about 5 minutes while adding remaining sugar 1 Tbsp (15 mL) at a time. Mound meringue in center of lined cookie sheet, all at once, building up sides with back of spoon to form a bowl shape. Bake at 250°F (120°C) for 1˝ hours until crisp on outside and firm to touch. Turn off heat and allow pavlova to cool in oven with door propped open for 2-3 hours. If making ahead, store in airtight container on counter or in cool place for several days (do not store in fridge or freezer). Before serving, whip cream until thickened. Add icing sugar. Continue to whip until soft peaks form. Gently fold in Bailey’s Irish Cream. Spoon into meringue shell. Top with fruit. Drizzle with more Irish cream if desired.
