How to Make Lemon Kiwi Pavlova

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking tray with silicon or baking parchment.
  2. In a clean, dry bowl, whisk 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 ½ cups (300g) caster sugar, one tablespoon at a time, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated before adding more.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Gently fold this mixture into the egg whites along with the last tablespoon of sugar.
  5. Spread the meringue onto the baking tray in an 8-inch circle, building up the edges higher than the center to create a bowl for the filling.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour at 325°F (160°C).
  7. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C) and continue baking for another 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the pavlova inside with the door slightly ajar to cool completely (approximately 2-3 hours).
  8. Once completely cool, carefully remove the pavlova from the baking tray and transfer to a serving dish.
  9. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice until thick and creamy.
  10. Spoon the lemon cream into the center of the pavlova.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  12. Just before serving, peel and slice 2-3 kiwi fruits and arrange them attractively around the edge of the pavlova.
