The amount of ingredients is enough to make two pavlovas.
For the meringue:
8 egg whites (+-250 g of whites)
480 g sugar
1 tablespoon corn flour
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 pinch of salt
For the topping:
400 g of red berries (frozen or a mix of fresh and frozen – I used frozen strawberries and raspberries)

A few drops of lemon juice
3 tablespoons powdered sugar (or to taste) + some for sprinkling
Mint leaves

Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 110º C.
- Draw a circle with a diameter of 26 cm on a sheet of tracing paper.
- Place the sheet on the baking tray, with the pencil mark facing down.
- Start beating the egg whites, which should be at room temperature, with a pinch of salt.
- At first without the sugar, but when they start to form consistent peaks, add the sugar little by little, continuing to beat until firm and shiny.
- Before adding the last portion of sugar, add the corn flour and vinegar.
- Place spoonfuls of meringue inside the drawn circle, depressing a little in the center and keeping the sides higher and irregular.
- Bake for 30 minutes and then reduce the temperature to 90º/fan and bake for another 1h30.
- Turn off the oven, open the door slightly and let the pavlova cool inside the oven.
- Once cooled, if you are not going to use it right away, store it in an airtight box.
Covering / decorating:
- About 2 or 3 hours in advance, place the frozen fruits in a bowl, cover them in brown sugar and let them defrost (they will release a delicious juice that we will use later in the decoration).
- Beat the cream with the powdered sugar until stiff (halfway through the process, add a few drops of lemon juice: this will help to thicken it).
- On a plate with a rim, place the meringue, spread spoonfuls of whipped cream and the fruits, sprinkling with the pomegranate seeds.
- Drizzle with some of the juice released by the fruit, scatter over some mint leaves and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
- It is ready to serve.
