Pavlova

For Dipanwita Boudi

4 egg whites
Fine sugar
Vinegar
Vanilla essence
Cool whip
Fresh strawberries/other canned or fresh fruits

Method

1. Beat egg whites at room temp, add sugar gradually, continue beating
2. Add 2 - 3 tsp of white vinegar or lemon juice and 1 tsp vanilla essence
3. Bake in a pre-heated convectional oven at 450 F for 10 minutes, then at 350 for about 45 mins to 1 hrs.
4. When you see the meringue rising, switch off the oven and leave it in the oven for another 30 mins to save it from any temp shock. It's ok if you see cracks.
5. Spread cool whip generously, and add fresh fruits like sliced strawberries, blueberries or canned and peeled orange

I added some strawberry preserves on the slice, but that would defeat the purpose if you want it as a low-fat, low-sugar desserts. Also, you can use low-fat cool whip instead of the original if you are counting calories.
