Tropical Fruit Pavlova
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a clean bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat, until the meringue becomes glossy and stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
- Gently fold in the white vinegar and cornstarch to stabilize the meringue, using a spatula to incorporate without deflating.
- Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a round disc about 8 inches in diameter, building up the edges slightly to form a border.
- Bake the meringue for about 1 hour, or until it is crisp on the outside and can be gently lifted from the parchment without sticking. Turn off the oven and let it cool completely with the door ajar.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, creating a light whipped topping.
- Once the meringue is completely cooled, spread the whipped cream evenly over the top, filling the center and smoothing the surface.
- Decorate the surface with the vibrant slices of pineapple, mango, and kiwi, arranging them in a colorful pattern for visual appeal.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp outer shell of the meringue with the creamy topping and juicy fruit layers, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours if needed.

Hey there — I’m Olivia “Liv” Carter, founder, recipe crafter, and storyteller behind Crying Into The Onions. I live somewhere in the heartland of the United States, where seasons change boldly, the smell of onions sizzling in a pan is a love language, and the kitchen is my favorite place to get messy and find magic.
I started this blog to share more than just recipes — I wanted to capture the emotions, memories, and quirks that make food more than fuel. Because sometimes, cooking makes you laugh. Sometimes, it makes you cry (into the onions, naturally). And most of all, it brings people together.
