Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, drawing a 9-inch circle as a guide.
  2. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold in cornstarch and vinegar with a spatula.
  4. Spoon meringue into the circle on parchment, creating a well in the center and smoothing edges.
  5. Bake for 1 hour and then turn off the oven, allowing the pavlova to cool completely inside.
  6. Whip the cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form and set it aside.
  7. Transfer cooled pavlova to a platter, spread whipped cream over the top, and layer with sliced peaches and blackberries.
  8. Cut into wedges and serve immediately, drizzling reserved fruit juices over if desired.
