Cocoa Pavlova w/Cream & Berries Ingredients: 4 large egg whites - room temperature ⅛ tsp. cream of tartar ⅛ tsp. sea salt 1 cup white sugar 1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar ¼ cup extra brute cocoa powder (I use Cacao Barry) 1 cup heavy cream 1 Tbsp. sugar or honey (to sweeten cream) Fresh berries Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Draw a 10 inch round circle on parchment paper that will line a baking sheet.  Turn the side of the parchment paper down that has the drawn circle (you will still be able to see it from the other side.)   To make the meringue, whip the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt in an electric mixer with the whisk attachment until foamy.  Gradually add 1 cup sugar.  After the sugar is incorporated, add the vinegar and cornstarch.  Whip on medium high speed until the whites hold stiff peaks and look glossy (3-5 minutes).  Add the cocoa and mix briefly in the mixer, then use a rubber spatula to incorporate the remaining cocoa until no streaks of
