Ingredients

• 4 large Egg whites
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 240 ml Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 150 grams Lemon curd
• 3 medium Fresh kiwis
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and draw an 8-inch circle on the parchment as a guide.

Step 2

In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.

Step 3

Sift the cornstarch over the meringue and gently fold it in, along with the white vinegar and vanilla extract, until just combined.

Step 4

Spoon the meringue onto the parchment paper, using the drawn circle as a guide. Shape it into a round with a slightly indented center to hold the toppings later.

Step 5

Reduce the oven temperature to 250°F (120°C) and bake the meringue for 90 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the meringue inside to cool completely without opening the door. This prevents cracking.

Step 6

While the meringue cools, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form. Set the whipped cream aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Step 7

Peel and slice the kiwis into thin rounds for topping.

Step 8

Once the meringue has cooled completely, transfer it to a serving dish. Spread the lemon curd over the center of the meringue, followed by the whipped cream.

Step 9

Arrange the kiwi slices on top of the whipped cream in a decorative pattern. Sprinkle with lemon zest for a final touch.

Step 10

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy the light and zesty Lemon Kiwi Pavlova!
