US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Make the baked meringues:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the egg whites in a large mixing bowl and whip on medium high speed until frothy.  
  • Gradually and very S-L-O-W-L-Y, add the sugar, while continuing to whip.  
  • Add the salt and whip until the meringue holds stiff peaks.  
  • Scoop the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, in two equal rounds.  Use the back of a spoon or silicone spatula to spread the meringue into a circle approximately 6-inches in diameter and 1-inch high.  
  • Bake for one hour, turn off the oven, and prop the oven door open with the handle of a wooden spoon.  Allow the meringues to come to room temperature in the oven.

Make the blackberry sauce:

  • Place the blackberries, sugar, and water in a small pot and cook over medium-low heat until the berries have softened and the liquid has thickened (about 15 minutes).  Cool completely.

Assemble the Pavlova:

  • Just before serving, place one round of baked meringue on a cake plate.  
  • Top with half the whipped cream, half the lemon curd, half the blackberry sauce, and half the fresh blackberries.  
  • Top with the remaining round of baked meringue, and repeat.  
  • Dust with powdered sugar.
