• 1 cup (200g) caster sugar
  
• 1 tsp white vinegar
  
• 1 tsp cornstarch (cornflour) - ensure gluten-free
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Coconut Cream Topping

• 1 can (400ml) full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
  
• 1–2 tbsp powdered icing sugar or Natvia Gut Activation (optional)
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  

Mixed Fruit Toppings (choose any combination)

• Mango slices
  
• Pineapple chunks
  
• Kiwi slices
  
• Passionfruit pulp
  
• Strawberries (halved)
  
• Blueberries
  
• Raspberries
  
• Blackberries
  
• Pomegranate seeds
  
• Fresh mint leaves (optional)
  
• Lime zest (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
   
2. Make the pavlova base:
   
   In a clean, dry bowl, whisk egg whites until soft peaks form.
   
   Gradually add caster sugar, whisking constantly until stiff, glossy peaks form.
   
   Gently fold in vinegar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract.
   
   
   
3. Shape and bake:
   
   Spoon or pipe the mixture onto the tray in a circle about 20cm wide, creating a slight well in the center.
   
   Bake for 1 hour. Then turn off the oven and leave the pavlova inside to cool completely (about 1 hour).
   
   
4. Prepare the coconut cream topping:
   
   Scoop the thickened cream from the chilled coconut milk can into a bowl (leave watery part behind).
   
   Whip with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy.
   
   Add icing sugar or Natvia and vanilla extract, then whip to combine.
   
   
   
5. Assemble the pavlova:
   Spread or pipe the whipped coconut cream over the cooled pavlova base.
   
   Arrange your chosen fresh fruits on top.
   
   Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a sprinkle of lime zest if desired.
   
   
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your allergy-friendly festive pavlova!
