LEMON PAVLOVA
Ever since my first pav in How To Eat, I have been something of a pavaholic. For me, acidity is key. I never understood why anyone would pile sweet fruit on top of something that is essentially - and dreamily - a cross between a marshmallow and a meringue. So naturally, a lemon pavlova made perfect sense. I had the idea - yes, really - from the actor Michael Sheen. This didn't come in the form of a personal tip, I should admit. I saw him create a great pile of lemony pavs on BBC Two's The Great Comic Relief Bake Off, and it inspired me. I am childishly excited about this pavlova: a reminder that good ideas come unbidden, much as happiness does. (Recipe courtesy Simply Nigella)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4/350°F and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
- Beat the egg whites until satiny peaks form, then beat in the sugar a spoonful at a time until the meringue is stiff and shiny.
- Sprinkle the cornflour over the meringue, then grate in the zest - a fine microplane is best for this - of 1 lemon and add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice.
- Gently fold until everything is thoroughly mixed inches Mound onto the lined baking tray in a fat circle approximately 23cm/10inches in diameter, smoothing the sides and the top with a knife or spatula.
- Place in the oven, then immediately turn the temperature down to 150°C/gas mark 2/300°F, and cook for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool, but don't leave it anywhere cold as this will make it crack too quickly. If you think your kitchen is too cool, then leave the pavlova inside the oven with the door completely open. When you're ready to eat, turn the pavlova onto a large flat plate or board with the underside uppermost - I do this before I sit down to the meal in question and let it stand till pudding time. This is so the tender marshmallow belly of the pav melds with the soft topping.
- Toast the flaked almonds, by frying them in a dry pan over a medium to high heat until they have started to colour. Shake the pan at regular intervals and don't let them burn. This doesn't take more than a minute or so. When they're done, remove to a cold plate so that they don't carry on cooking.
- Whip the cream until thick and airy but still with a soft voluptuousness about it, and set it aside for a mo.
- Put the lemon curd into a bowl and beat it with a wooden spoon or spatula to loosen it a little. Taste the lemon curd (if it's shop-bought) and add some lemon zest and a spritz of juice if it's too sweet.
- With a light hand, a glad heart and a spatula, spread the lemon curd on top of the meringue base. Now top with the whipped cream, peaking it rather as if it were a meringue topping. Sprinkle with the zest of the remaining lemon - you can grate this finely or coarsely as you wish - followed by the flaked almonds, and serve triumphantly.
- MAKE AHEAD NOTES: Meringue base can be made 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container until needed.Curd can be made up to 3 days ahead. Cover and store in fridge until needed. Stir before using.Almonds can be toasted a week ahead. When cold, store in an airtight container at room temperature until needed. Assemble the pavlova about 1 hour ahead of serving.
- STORE NOTE: Leftovers can be stored in fridge, loosely covered with clingfilm, for up to 1 day.

Time 4h20m
Yield 12 meringues
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Pavlovas: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until thick, about 2 minutes. With the machine on medium-high speed, gradually add the sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time. Add the salt, cream of tartar and lemon zest. Increase the speed to high and beat until the mixture holds stiff peaks, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drop 8 (1/2) cupfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Using the back of a spoon make a 1 1/2-inch diameter well in the center of each meringue. Bake for 2 hours. Turn off the oven and allow the meringues to cool completely in the oven for 2 hours. Store airtight in a plastic container for up to 1 week.
- Berries: In a small bowl, toss together the berries, sugar and lemon juice. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Cream: In a small bowl, mix together the cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth.
- Assembly: Put the meringues on small plates and spoon a dollop of the mascarpone cream into the wells. Top with the berries and serve.
- Cook's Note: If using blueberries, gently mash them with a fork before mixing with the sugar and lemon juice.
- Cook's Note: The meringue mixture can also be placed in a pastry bag fitted with a large, plain tip (recommended: Ateco # 9808) and piped onto the baking sheet.

Steps:
- Lay a sheet of silicon or baking parchment on a baking tray.
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Whisk the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until they are stiff.
- Whisk in the sugar a spoonful at a time. Blend the vinegar with the cornflour and whisk it, with the last spoon of sugar, into the egg whites.
- Spread the meringue out to roughly an 8" circle on the baking tray and build up the sides so that they are higher then the centre, this is for the filling.
- Put the baking tray in the centre of the oven, turn the heat down to 300F and bake the meringue for 1 hour. Turn the oven off but leave the pavlova in the oven to become quite cold (otherwise it might split open as it cools).
- Remove the pavlova from the baking tray and place on a serving dish.
- Place the condensed milk, cream and lemon juice in a bowl, beat until blended (taste after you just mixed it, you might want to add more condensed milk or lemon, to suit your taste) and the mixture is thick and creamy, then pile into the centre of the pavlova.
- Place in the fridge and leave to stand for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Peel and slice the kiwi fruit and arrange attractively around the edge of the lemon pavlova just before serving.
