Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large egg whites

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar while whisking until glossy stiff peaks develop (about 8 minutes).
  3. Gently fold in cornstarch and vinegar until just combined.
  4. Spoon meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a circle with a slight well in the center.
  5. Bake for approximately 90 minutes or until crisp outside and soft inside.
  6. For lemon curd, combine lemon juice, zest, sugar, and eggs in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until thickened (about 10 minutes). Incorporate butter until smooth.
  7. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  8. Once cooled completely, spread lemon curd on the meringue, top with whipped cream and fresh berries.
