How to Make Pavlova With Lemon Cream And Berries

Preheat oven to 225°F (110°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until well combined.
In a large bowl, beat 4 large egg whites at medium-high speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer for 1 minute.
Add 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar and 1/4 teaspoon salt, beating until blended.
Gradually add the sugar mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating at medium-high speed until the mixture is glossy, stiff peaks form, and the sugar dissolves. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Gently spread the meringue mixture into a 7-inch round on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, making an indentation in the center of the meringue to hold the filling.
Bake at 225°F (110°C) for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the meringue is pale golden and the outside has formed a crisp crust.
Turn off the oven. Let the meringue stand in the oven, with the door closed and the oven light on, for 12 hours.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup lemon curd and 1/2 cup sour cream until smooth.
Cover and chill the lemon cream in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Spoon the lemon cream mixture into the indentation in the center of the meringue.
Top with your favorite fresh berries (approximately 2 cups).
Garnish with lemon zest, if desired.
