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

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw a 9-inch circle on it.
3. 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.
4. Gently fold in the cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
5. 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.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, until the meringue is dry and sounds hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack.
7. In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form; set aside.
8. 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 with sliced kiwi.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
