Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 212°F (100°C). Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
  2. Beat the room temperature egg whites on low speed until foamy. Gradually add sugar, increasing to medium-high until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently drizzle the melted chocolate into the meringue and fold in cornstarch and vinegar carefully.
  4. Dollop the meringue onto the prepared trays creating circular shapes. Bake for about 2 hours, until they easily lift off.
  5. While baking, melt 1 cup sugar in a saucepan, stir until deep golden. Add butter and cream until smooth, then add sea salt.
  6. After cooling, whip the cream, dollop on each pavlova, drizzle with caramel, and top with honey-roasted peanuts.
