Ingredients

Scale

4 large egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy, gradually adding sugar until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold in vinegar and cornstarch.
Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a round disc with raised edges.
Bake for about 75 minutes until dry and crisp outside but soft inside. Turn off the oven and let it cool inside.
Once cooled, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Transfer the meringue to a serving platter, spread whipped cream on top, and add mixed berries just before serving.
