Caramel and Banana Pavlova

Ingredients:

• 4 egg whites
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 ripe bananas, sliced
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, and beat until the mixture is glossy and stiff.
3. Fold in the vinegar and vanilla extract gently.
4. Spoon the meringue onto the baking sheet in a circular shape, making a shallow well in the middle. Smooth the sides and top as much as possible.
5. Bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven and leave the pavlova inside to cool completely.
6. When the pavlova is cool, whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
7. Spoon the whipped cream into the well in the pavlova and top it with sliced bananas.
8. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
