Line a baking tray with baking paper. Pile on the meringue, hollowing out the centre to form an indentation
Put your Pavlova into the pre heated oven at 200 for 10 minutes, then turn down the heat
Bake your pavlova for about 35 minutes until quite firm, then turn the oven off but leave the pavlova in it to cool completely, keep the oven door slightly ajar by using a tea towel or a wooden spoon.

Just before serving whip the cream with the 2 tablespoons of sugar and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Wash and slice the strawberries in half.
Spread the whipped cream over the Pavlova.
