  5. Spread the meringue onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a circle about 8 inches in diameter.
  6. Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let the pavlova cool completely in the oven.
  7. Once cooled, whip the cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  8. Carefully place the pavlova on a serving plate and spoon the whipped cream into the center.
  9. Top with the diced pineapple, mango, and mixed berries, arranging them beautifully.
  10. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of green and refreshing aroma.

Notes

Store the pavlova in a cool, dry place, and avoid refrigerating it to maintain its crispness. Serve immediately after assembly for best results.
