Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Beat 4 egg whites with 1/2 tsp cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff and glossy, then fold in 1 tbsp cornstarch.
  2. Step 2: Scoop mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet into a 10-inch circle, creating a well in the center. Smooth the top with a spatula and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes until crisp and dry to the touch.
  3. Step 3: While meringue bakes, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 1 tsp lemon zest and 2 tbsp powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in 1 cup sliced strawberries and 1/2 cup raspberries.
  4. Step 4: Carefully transfer cooled meringue to a serving plate. Fill the center with berry mixture and top with 2 sliced kiwis. Serve immediately to prevent sogginess.
