Serving Size: 8
Cooking Time: 120 minutes
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, whipped
- 6 Whole kiwi, peeled
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw a 9-inch circle on it.
- In a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition until the meringue is thick, white, and glossy.
- Gently fold in the cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
- Spoon the meringue mixture inside the drawn circle on the parchment paper. Spread the mixture from the center towards the edge, building the edge slightly higher to create a slight depression in the center.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, until the meringue is dry and sounds hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack.
- In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form; set aside.
- Remove the meringue from the parchment paper and place it on a flat serving plate.
- Fill the center of the meringue with whipped cream and top with sliced kiwi.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
