Ingredients
  • 3 egg whites at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
  • 1 cup lemon curd (Trader Joe's has my favorite kind)
  • 1-2 cups blackberries (or other berries)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300.
  2. Using a stand mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add water and beat again until peaks stiffen.
  3. In a small bowl, combine sugar and corn starch. While mixer is on medium high speed, add sugar mixture, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, until fully combined.
  4. Add vinegar and beat on high speed for another 5 minutes until peaks are glossy and stiff.
  5. Transfer egg whites to a parchment paper lined baking dish and spread into an ~8 inch circle, making sure the sides are slightly higher that the middle.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes until meringue is slightly browned and crusty. Turn oven off and prop door open slightly with an oven mitt or wooden spoon. This will prevent the pavlova from deflating too quickly. Let cool for about an hour.
  7. Once cooled, remove from oven and gently spread lemon curd into center. Don't worry if it cracks a little. Top with berries.
