1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment and draw a 7–8 inch (17.8 to 20 cm) circle as a guide. 2. Whisk egg whites to soft peaks, then gradually add sugar until glossy and stiff; fold in vinegar and cornstarch gently. 3. Pile meringue onto the circle, shaping a slight well in the center; bake 1–1¼ hours until dry; turn off oven and cool inside with door ajar. 4. Whip cream with powdered sugar to soft peaks. Toast shredded coconut in a dry skillet until golden. 5. Just before serving, top cooled pavlova with whipped cream, arrange banana slices, spoon over passion fruit pulp, and sprinkle toasted coconut.
