Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt
• 4 egg whites
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 pinch cream of tartar
• 1 dash vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
• 1 cup caramel ice cream topping
• 1 cup castor sugar or superfine sugar
• 2 small bananas, sliced
• 1 tablespoon grated semisweet chocolate, for garnish
• 2 cups sweetened whipped cream

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil; trace an 8-inch circle onto the surface.

Step 2

Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and cream of tartar together in a small bowl. Beat egg whites, vinegar, salt, and vanilla together with an electric mixer in a separate glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in sugar mixture; continue to beat until shiny and stiff peaks form. Mound meringue into the traced circle on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten top; smooth sides using a metal spatula.

Step 3

Place in the preheated oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Bake until pale golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Turn off oven; leave door slightly ajar with pavlova inside until completely cooled.

Step 4

Transfer cooled pavlova to a serving plate just before ready to serve; top with banana slices. Drizzle caramel sauce over top. Top with whipped cream; sprinkle with chocolate.
