Ingredients

  • 4 large Egg whites (68 calories)
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar (774 calories)
  • 1 tsp Cornstarch (3 calories)
  • 1 tsp White vinegar (2 calories)

  • 1 cup Blackberries (62 calories)
  • Optional garnish: Fresh mint leaves (0 calories)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw a circle (8-inch diameter) as a guide.
  2. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition until the meringue is glossy and stiff.
  4. Fold in the cornstarch, vinegar, vanilla extract, and activated charcoal powder gently until combined.
  5. Spoon the meringue onto the prepared parchment paper, shaping it into the drawn circle with slightly raised edges.
  6. Bake for 90 minutes, then turn off the oven and let the pavlova cool completely inside to prevent cracking.
