For best results, use room-temperature egg whites. Ensure your bowl and whisk are completely clean and free of grease for optimal meringue formation. Do not open the oven door during baking or cooling, as this can cause the Pavlova to crack. Pavlova can be made a day ahead. Store the meringue base in an airtight container at room temperature. Add whipped cream and fruit just before serving to prevent the meringue from becoming soggy. Feel free to experiment with different fruits based on seasonal availability and your preferences. Raspberries, blackberries, mangoes, or passionfruit are all excellent choices.
