Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer, beat room temperature egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Gradually add caster sugar to the egg whites, beating on high until thick and glossy, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Fold in cornstarch and white vinegar until just combined.
  5. Pipe the meringue into 5-6 tall dome shapes on the tray.
  6. Reduce oven temperature to 225°F (110°C) and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  7. Turn off the oven and leave the meringues to cool inside for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  8. Hollow out a small hole at the base of each meringue to make space for the filling.
  9. Fill each meringue with raspberry coulis and lemon curd.
  10. Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and seal the top of each filled pavlova.
  11. Invert the filled pavlova onto serving plates and serve.
