How To Make pavlova with cream and italian fruit salad

    In a standing mixer with a whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. Now slowly add 1 cup of sugar while continuing to whisk to stiff peaks.
  • 3
    In a small bowl combine 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons corn starch. Fold this into the egg white mixture alone with the lemon juice.
  • 4
    Take a piping back with a 1M Wilton tip and for each circle on the parchment start in the middle and pipe the meringue in a circle from the inside out and add an extra layer on top of the outer circle so it works like a bowl. Repeat for all 12.
