Just made meringue for a strawberry pavlova. Recipe was 2 egg whites,100g caster sugar and 25g granulated sugar. Whisk egg whites until it forms soft peaks , add half the caster sugar until mix is shiny looking then add rest of caster sugar until mix is close textured. Fold in granulated sugar then into oven 140° for 35 mins. What has come out is a light brown coloured blob that has cracked all over so large chunks have flaked away before I even tried to take it off the parchment paper and inside is a white marshmallowy mix. Where did I go wrong? Has anyone got a recipe that always works? I do want it chewy inside rather than the dry , powdery type you can get but would like it to look white and be able to withstand the weight of cream and a few strawberries with collapsing!!!
