This recipe turned out amazing but does need some revising! I did a lot of research before I made this because I saw how many people had a problem with it. The temperature is wrong. I heated the oven to 300 then placed the egg white mixture in the oven, lowered the temp to 250 and baked 1 1/2 hrs., turned off the oven letting it cool over night in the oven. Also, it took way longer than 2 minutes to whip the egg white mixture. The sugar has to be 100% completely dissolved before it's done mixing which took me about 10 minutes. The texture should be completely smooth and shiny making stiff peaks before folding in the other ingredients and baking it. As a taste test you should not be able to taste any crunchy sugar. The sauce was really good too but next time I make it I will use 1/2 the amount of sugar because it was almost too sweet. And I gave it 5 stars because I love Ina! :

The temperature to cook the meringue has to be wrong. It simply does not cook in this time. The fruit was nice but the meringue was disgusting.

My meringue didn't turn out and a liquid seeped out of it while in the oven (gross. I was searching for a recipe I used before that was easy and turned out flawless and couldn't find it so I used Ina's. Very disappointed. Wish I could find my other recipe.

This recipe is super easy to make and absolutely delicious! A friend and I made it last night for our girl's night and it was a hit. I'll be making it again. I've made the raspberry sauce before and this time I substituted the raspberries for blackberries and I used sugar free jam. Yum yum!

I've made this 2x and other meringue recipes numerous times. I know all about using clean utensils etc. But this recipe just does not work for me. I will stick with old fashioned BHG recipe and just use Ina's fruit and presentation

I followed this recipe to a T, and was very disappointed in the results. It was not completely done at the end of the cooking/cooling time. It was somewhat soggy underneath and wet, not crisp like a pavlova should be. Next time I think I would try 200 degree oven.

It's perfect and delicious! Every step is clear and easy to follow with amazing results every time. After the first time, the only thing I modified is the temperature and time: 200º and 2 hours; I live 160 ft above sea level, so I always need to modify baking times and temperature.

My 10 year old son loves to watch Food Network in the morning. He tuned in when this episode was on and wrote down all the directions and ingredients and asked me if he could make it. He has done this with Giada's Lemon Gnocchi before and that was amazing. He does all this by himself and I watch to lend a hand if needed. Today he made this and in just a few minutes it was gone! It all came out perfectly! Ina's instructions were detailed enough that he could get all the basics down to complete it on his own. : He said he wants to make it again for Easter and take it to Grandma's. I am going to let him! :

Great.

To those who had trouble getting the meringue to set, there are some tips that might help you... First, don't try this on a rainy day. Next, be sure your egg whites are room temp and your bowl/beaters are squeeky clean. Any oil/butter will make it impossible to get the eggs to whip properly. Leave the meringue in the oven with the heat off after the baking time if needed to get it to dry properly. Good luck!
