Ingredients

Meringue

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 6 egg whites
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 ½ ounces sliced almonds
  • ¼ cup white sugar

Lemon Filling

  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 4 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 1 sprig fresh mint
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries

Directions

Step 1
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10×15 jelly roll pan and line the pan with parchment. Grease the parchment and dust with the cornstarch.

Step 2
Beat the 6 egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Spread the meringue mixture in the prepared pan.

Step 3
Whisk together the cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar, then almonds, evenly over the meringue mixture.

Step 4
Bake meringue in the preheated oven until lightly brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven; turn over onto a foil-covered surface, almond side down. Set aside to cool completely. Carefully remove parchment when cool.

Step 5
Beat the 3 egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Add salt, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Gradually beat in 1 cup sugar; then gradually beat in lemon juice and zest.

Step 6
In a separate bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into lemon mixture.

Step 7
Place the filling in the center of the meringue. Using the foil to lift the meringue, fold the sides of the meringue over the filling, making a log shape. Wrap the log in foil and place in freezer for at least two hours.

Step 8
To serve, unwrap pavlova. Decorate with lemon slices, mint leaves and strawberries. Serve frozen.
