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 in a separate glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in sugar mixture; continue beating until shiny and stiff peaks form. Mound meringue into the traced circle on the prepared baking sheet; flatten top and smooth sides using a metal spatula.
Step 3
Place in the preheated oven and immediately reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Bake until pale golden brown, 1 to 1 ½ hours. Turn off oven; leave door slightly ajar with pavlova inside until completely cooled, about 1 hour.
Step 4
Transfer cooled pavlova to a serving plate. Top with banana slices just before ready to serve; drizzle caramel sauce over top. Top with whipped cream; sprinkle with chocolate.
