Crispy Meringue Pavlova
Ingredients
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 6 kiwi, peeled and sliced
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).
2
Prepare a baking sheet by covering it with parchment paper and drawing a 9-inch circular shape on the surface.
3
In a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl, whip egg whites until they become stiff and hold their shape, but not too dry. Gradually add sugar in small increments of about 1 tablespoon at a time, beating the mixture well after each addition. Continue whipping until the meringue reaches a thick, white, and glossy consistency.
4
Mix in cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice gently to avoid deflating the mixture.
5
Spoon the meringue mixture into the circular shape drawn on the parchment paper, starting from the center and gradually spreading it towards the outer edge while building a slight rim around the edge. This should leave a small indentation in the center.
6
Place the meringue mixture in a preheated oven and bake until it becomes dry and sounds hollow when tapped, taking about 1 hour.
7
Once the meringue is done, remove it from the parchment paper and place it on a flat serving plate.
8
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form; set it aside to be used later. Remove the meringue from the parchment paper and place it on a flat serving plate.
9
Fill the center of the meringue with whipped cream and top it with sliced kiwi. Add your favorite fruits on top to complete the dessert.
