Ingredients

For the meringue:

  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 c. sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

For the roasted strawberries:

  • 2 c. Florida Strawberries stems removed and halved
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the lemon cream:

  • 3/4 c. lemon curd
  • 1 1/2 c. light whipped topping
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

For decorating:

  • 1 c. whole Florida Strawberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine the egg white and salt and beat with a mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
  • Turn the mixer to medium high speed and add in the sugar a couple of tablespoons at a time until thick, shiny peaks form.
  • Once the peaks are stiff sprinkle them with the cornstarch, cream of tartar, and vanilla and gently fold to combine.
  • Mound the meringue in the center of the prepared pan and form it into a circle. Try to make the inside more shallow than the edges so as to form a shallow bowl.
  • Bake for one hour.
  • After baking for one hour turn off the oven and allow the meringue to cool inside of the oven for an addition hour. Remove from oven and cool completely.
  • To make the roasted strawberries preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In an 8 x 8 baking dish toss the halved strawberries with the sugar, balsamic vinegar, vanilla, and salt. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring once after 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.
  • To make the lemon cream mix together the lemon curd, whipped topping, and vanilla. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To put the Pavlova together gently place the meringue on a serving plate. Spread with the lemon cream. Then spoon the roasted strawberries on top of the cream.
  • Top the entire dessert with fresh Florida Strawberries.
  • Serve immediately.
  • *Refrigerate any extras for up to 1 day*
