# What You'll Need:
→ Meringue
01 - 4 large egg whites, at room temperature
02 - 1 cup superfine sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon cornstarch
04 - 1 teaspoon white vinegar
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Whipped Cream
06 - 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
07 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

09 - 2 cups assorted fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 275°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and mark an 8-inch circle as a guide, then flip the paper over.
02 - In a large, clean bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
03 - Gradually add superfine sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed until glossy, stiff peaks form.
04 - Gently fold in cornstarch, white vinegar, and vanilla extract with a spatula.
05 - Spoon the meringue onto the parchment, forming a round with slightly raised edges to hold toppings.
06 - Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn off the oven and allow the meringue to cool completely inside with the door slightly ajar.
07 - In a separate bowl, beat cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
08 - Transfer cooled meringue onto a serving platter. Spread whipped cream over the center and top with fresh assorted berries.
09 - Decorate with mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.
