Whip Egg Whites
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.

Add Sugar
Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form.

Add Cornstarch and Vinegar
Gently fold in the cornstarch, white vinegar, and vanilla extract until just combined.

Shape the Pavlova
Spoon the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet within the drawn circle, creating a slight dip in the center to hold the toppings.

Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave the pavlova inside to cool completely.
