Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C (fan bake) and line two baking trays with baking paper.
  2. In an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Add vanilla essence and white vinegar, then gradually incorporate caster sugar while whipping until thick and glossy, about 5 more minutes.
  4. Dollop 8 rounds of meringue on baking trays, creating indents in the center. Reduce oven to 120°C and bake for 40 minutes.
  5. Turn off the oven and leave the door ajar; let pavlovas cool for about 1 hour.
  6. Melt white chocolate with cream in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds, and let cool slightly.
  7. Whip additional cream until soft peaks form and slice mango and strawberries.
  8. Top each cooled pavlova with whipped cream, fresh fruit, and drizzle white chocolate sauce over the top.
