	Pavlova 11

		Pavlova 5 large egg whites (at room temperature) 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup sugar 4 teaspoons cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar 4 cups assorted fresh berries 2 tablespoons powdered sugar 1 1/2 cups light vanilla ice cream, melted 1 1/2 teaspoons Grand Marnier or 1/2 teaspoon extract of your choice Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw a 10-inch circle on parchment paper. Turn parchment paper over. Secure with masking tape; set aside. Beat egg whites at high speed of a mixer until foamy. Add salt, beating until stiff peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form (do not underbeat). Sprinkle cornstarch over egg white mixture; beat at low speed until well-blended. Stir in vanilla and vinegar. Spoon egg white mixture onto drawn circle. Using the back of spoon, shape meringue into a "nest" with 2-1/2-inch sides. Bake at 275 degrees for 2 hours or until dry. Turn oven off; let meringue cool in closed oven at least 12 hours. Carefully remove meringue from paper; set aside. Combine fruit and powdered sugar; let stand 5 minutes. Combine ice cream and liqueur. Spoon fruit mixture onto meringue, and drizzle sauce over top. Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 wedge [1/8 meringue], 1/2 cup fruit, and 1-1/2 tablespoons sauce).
