Ingredients

  • servings poached berries fresh assorted
  • tablespoon cornstarch 
  • 0.3 teaspoon cream of tartar 
  •  egg whites at room temperature
  • 10 oz lemon curd 
  • servings lemon zest fresh
  • pinch salt 
  • 0.3 cup cream sour
  • cup sugar 
  • 0.3 teaspoon vanilla extract 

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • baking paper
  • oven
  • whisk
  • stand mixer

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 22
  2. Whisk together sugar and cornstarch. Beat egg whites at medium-high speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer 1 minute; add cream of tartar and salt, beating until blended. Gradually add sugar mixture, 1 Tbsp. at a time, beating at medium-high speed until mixture is glossy, stiff peaks form, and sugar dissolves. (Do not overbeat.) Beat in vanilla. Gently spread mixture into a 7-inch round on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, making an indentation in center of meringue to hold filling.
  3. Bake at 225 for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until pale golden and outside has formed a crust. Turn oven off; let meringue stand in oven, with door closed and light on, 12 hours.
  4. Meanwhile, whisk together lemon curd and sour cream until smooth. Cover and chill.
  5. Spoon lemon mixture into center of meringue, and top with berries. (Center of meringue may fall once the lemon mixture and berries have been added.)
  6. Garnish, if desired.
