BAKE MODE:
Prevent your screen from going dark while you bake.
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw 9-inch (23 cm) circle with marker or pencil in centre of parchment paper. Flip paper so pencil side is facing down.
Beat egg whites and salt in stand mixer on medium-low speed until foamy; add cream of tartar. Increase speed to high; beat until soft peaks start to form. Gradually add sugar, beating until glossy, stiff peaks form. Sift cornstarch evenly over top. Pour in vinegar and vanilla; fold into egg whites mixture.
Spoon meringue mixture onto prepared baking sheet, shaping and swirling into a round and using drawn circle as a guide. Make a shallow well in centre using large spoon or spatula.
Bake for 5 minutes. Reduce temperature to 250°F (120°C) and bake for 1 hour or until crisp and dry. Turn off oven. Let stand in oven, keeping oven door ajar, for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Melt HERSHEY’S CHIPITS White Creme Chips and 3 tbsps (45 mL) cream in heatproof bowl fitted over saucepan of barely simmering water until smooth and melted. Let cool to room temperature.
Beat remaining cream in bowl with handheld electric mixer until stiff peaks start to form. Fold HERSHEY’S CHIPITS White Creme Chips mixture into whipped cream. Chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Toss blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and 1/4 cup (60 mL) HERSHEY'S Strawberry Flavoured Syrup together until coated. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Serve pavlova topped with whipped cream mixture and berries mixture. Drizzle with remaining HERSHEY'S Strawberry Flavoured Syrup.
Variation:
Tropical Berry: Substitute the blackberries, raspberries and blueberries with chopped mango, pineapple and bananas (and keep the strawberries).
