Preparation

1. Turn your Cusinart Express Oven Air Fryer ON in Bake function and preheat at 100 degrees.
2. Use an electric whisk or stand mixer to whisk the egg whites and cream of tartar until firm peaks form. Make sure there are no yolks in your eggs and the bowl is clean and dry before starting to whisk.
3. Slowly add the sugar, one tsp at a time, whisking continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is thick and glossy. You will know the mixture is right when you can rub some between your fingers and not feel any sugar granules.
4. Add the cornflour and stir to combine.
5. Line your tray with baking paper and pour out your mixture forming a circle shape.
6. Lower heat to 90 degrees and bake for 1 hour. Leave in the air fry oven for an additional hour or overnight with the door slightly ajar.
7. 20 mins before you are ready to see the pavlova, prepare the topping.
8. Clean, hull and halve the strawberries and place in a medium sized bowl. Add the icing sugar and stir well to combine. Tear mint leaves and add to mixture. Leave for 20 minutes.
9. Whisk the thickened cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Assemble your pavlova with the fluffy cream and strawberry mint mixture and serve immediately!
