Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Step 2
Spoon mixture inside the circle drawn on the parchment paper. Working from the center, spread mixture toward the outside edge and build the edge slightly. This should leave a slight depression in the center.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until meringue is dry and sounds hollow when tapped, about 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack.
Step 4
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; draw a 9-inch circle on the parchment paper.
Step 5
Beat egg whites in a large bowl until stiff but not dry. Gradually add sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until thick and glossy.
Step 6
Gently fold in cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
Step 7
Beat heavy cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form; set aside. Remove meringue from the parchment paper and place on a flat serving plate.
Step 8
Fill center of meringue with whipped cream and top with kiwi slices.
