LEMON BLUEBERRY PAVLOVA
My favorite way to enjoy lemon meringue is with pavlova. The meringue base cools and dries out slowly, creating a crispy, crunchy crust on the outside which contrasts beautifully with a soft, sticky center. Topped with an intense lemon curd filling, fresh blueberries, and a homemade blueberry sauce, this dessert takes a little bit of time to make but is also simple and easy to pull off!

Steps:
- Prepare lemon curd filling: Cut butter into small pieces and set aside.
- Separate eggs, placing yolks in a heat-proof bowl and whites in glass, metal, or ceramic bowl. Cover egg whites and leave on the counter to come to room temperature for the meringue.
- Add lemon zest, salt, sugar, and lemon juice to egg yolks. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Add 1 to 2 inches water to a saucepan over low heat; bring to a simmer. Place bowl of filling over the simmering water. Cook, stirring constantly with a spatula, until mixture is very hot to the touch and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir in butter, 3 or 4 pieces at a time, waiting until butter has melted before each addition. Remove from the heat and pour filling into a bowl to cool, about 15 minutes. Lay plastic wrap on top of the filling, pressing down so it doesn't develop a skin, and place in the refrigerator until well chilled, 2 to 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner, such as Silpat®. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Begin meringue: Mix cornstarch into sugar and set aside.
- Add cream of tartar, lemon juice, and vanilla to the reserved egg whites. Whisk with a large whisk until very soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Whisk in sugar mixture, 2 tablespoons at a time, whisking about 1 minute between each addition, until incorporated. When all sugar mixture has been added, continue to whisk until relatively stiff peaks form and whites are firm enough to hold their shape.
- Use 2 spoons or a piping bag to transfer whites onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a ring of dollops about 8 or 9 inches across. Fill in the middle with meringue, then go back around the edges adding more meringue to build up the outside edge.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven for exactly 1 hour. At 1 hour, turn off the oven and crack the door. Let meringue sit in the oven until its cooled completely, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, prepare blueberry sauce: combine 1 cup blueberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until blueberries collapse and liquid thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and pass through a fine mesh strainer. Place in the refrigerator until fully chilled, about 45 minutes.
- Very carefully transfer cooled meringue to a serving platter using 2 large spatulas if necessary; you may get some cracks but that's okay. Use a spoon to crack the center a bit to make room for the filling.
- Fill the center with chilled lemon curd filling. Place remaining blueberries over top and drizzle with blueberry sauce. Garnish with mint.

- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Trace an 8 inch cake or pie pan onto the middle of the paper. Flip the sheet over so the pencil mark is underneath.
- Place six egg whites in a large bowl or stand mixer. Whip until egg starts to become foamy. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until sugar is incorporated. Whip until stiff, shiny peaks form. Sprinkle in the cornstarch, lemon juice and zest. Gently fold in with a rubber spatula.
- Mound meringue onto the circle drawn on the parchment. Smooth the top and sides with an offset or rubber spatula, using the circle as a guide. Place the baking sheet into the oven and immediately LOWER OVEN TEMPERATURE to 300°F (150°C). Bake for about 1 hour. Meringue should look dry but the center will be soft when poked. It's fine if cracks form. Turn off oven, leave door slightly open (prop open with a wooden spoon) and allow to cool completely in the oven.(* This step may be done the night before, leaving meringue in oven overnight.)
- Make the lemon curd. Place a large, heatproof bowl over a large pot with 2 inches of simmer water. Place all the ingredients for the lemon curd into the bowl. Whisk to combine. Continuing whisking until mixture thickens. Dip the back of a spoon into the curd and draw a line with your finger. If the line holds, the curd is ready.

- Allow egg whites to stand at room temperature 30 minutes (this helps create more volume). Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Preheat oven to 250°F. For meringue, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment* beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt on medium speed until soft peaks form. Add the 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 Tbsp. at a time, beating on high speed until stiff peaks form and meringue is no longer gritty (18 to 20 minutes), scraping down bowl as needed. Beat in lemon juice and orange water. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in cornstarch.
- Spoon meringue mixture into 8 large mounds (about 3/4 cup each) on a parchment paper-lined very large baking sheet, spacing them 3 inches apart. Using the back of the spoon, create an indent in each meringue. Bake for 1 hour. Turn off oven; let meringue dry in oven with the door closed for 1 hour. Remove and cool completely.
