Banoffee Pavlova

Ingredients

  • superfine sugar (1 cup)
  • cornstarch (2 teaspoons)
  • cream of tartar (1 pinch)
  • egg whites (4 )
  • white wine vinegar (1 teaspoon)
  • salt (1 pinch)
  • vanilla extract (1 dash)
  • bananas (2 small)
  • caramel ice cream topping (1 cup)
  • sweetened whipped cream (2 cups)
  • semisweet chocolate (1 tablespoon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil; trace an 8-inch circle onto the surface.
  2. Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and cream of tartar together in a small bowl. Beat egg whites, vinegar, salt, and vanilla together with an electric mixer in a separate glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar mixture; continue to beat until shiny and stiff peaks form. Mound the meringue into the traced circle on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten the top; smooth the sides using a metal spatula.
  3. Place in the preheated oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Bake until pale golden brown, 1 to 1.5 hours. Turn off oven; leave door slightly ajar with pavlova inside until completely cooled.
  4. Transfer cooled pavlova to a serving plate just before ready to serve; top with banana slices. Drizzle caramel sauce over top. Top with whipped cream; sprinkle with chocolate.
