1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 tsp of cornstarch
A pinch of salt

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 150 degrees Celsius.
2. In a clean and dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.

To make it even more festive, you can also add a drizzle of melted white chocolate on top of the fruit for a snow-like effect. Or, you can dust the pavlova with some powdered sugar to mimic a snowy winter day. Get creative and have fun with it!
Another idea is to add some crushed peppermint candy on top of the pavlova for a minty twist. You can also add some peppermint extract to the meringue mixture for a subtle mint flavor throughout.
