Instructions
1. Make the Pavlova Shells
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks appear.
- Gently fold in the cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
- Spoon the meringue onto the parchment paper, shaping small circular shells with a well in the center to hold the filling later.
- Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Once done, turn off the oven and let the pavlovas cool inside completely for a crisp texture.

In a bowl, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Add ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Fold gently until fully incorporated. Chill the cream until needed.3. Assemble the Snow Globes

Dust the snow globes with powdered sugar to create a snowy effect. Add a mini gingerbread cookie to each for an extra festive touch (optional).5. Serve
Arrange the pavlovas on a platter and serve immediately for the freshest texture. If prepared ahead, store in the fridge for up to 2 hours before serving.
