Ingredients

Meringue Nests

4 pcs egg whites(large, at room temperature)
1 cup caster sugar(superfine sugar)
1/4 tsp cream of tartar

Filling and Topping

1/2 cup lemon curd
1 1/2 cup mixed berries(fresh, such as raspberries, blueberries, and sliced strawberries)

Instructions

For the Meringue Nests

Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a very clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add caster sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar has dissolved. The meringue should be firm and shiny.
Spoon or pipe the meringue into 4-6 round nests on the prepared baking sheet, creating a slight well in the center of each.
Bake for 60-90 minutes, or until the meringues are crisp on the outside and firm. Turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside with the door ajar for at least 30 minutes, or until completely cool, to prevent cracking.

Assembly

Once the meringue nests are completely cool, gently transfer them to a serving plate.
Fill the center of each nest with a generous spoonful of lemon curd.
Top with fresh mixed berries.
Serve immediately.

Tips

Ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are impeccably clean and free of any grease.
Do not open the oven door while the meringues are baking or cooling, as this can cause them to colla
Assemble the pavlova nests just before serving to maintain the crispness of the meringue.
