Meringue :

• On a baking sheet, spread the egg whites to form a thick circle. Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes at 250°F (120°C).
  You can do this step the day before serving.
• Once the meringue is cold, and before serving, whip the very cold cream, and add sugar gradually.
  
• Then, spread the whipped cream on the meringue.
• After having cut the strawberries in quarters, arrange them on the cream.
  
• Sprinkle some icing sugar on top of it.
• Your Pavlova is ready. The meringue should be crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
