June Pan Pavlova

As light as the feet of the ballerina it was named after, this cloud-like meringue dessert is a showstopper in all categories. Make the meringue base ahead of time and wrap it tightly, keeping it at room temperature to assemble just before serving. Don’t feel like you have to stick to the recipe--add nuts, chopped sweet herbs, citrus zest or even chocolate to complement whatever fruit is in season. Feeling adventurous? Use the yolks from the eggs to make your own fruit curd. Potato starch makes this kosher for Passover.

Make the sugar-starch mixture

In a medium bowl, whisk the 1 cup of sugar and starch until combined. Set aside.

3 tablespoons potato starch

Start the meringue

Combine the egg whites, the ⅓ cup sugar, lemon juice and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or medium bowl if using a hand mixer. Whisk on medium-low 2 minutes, then increase the speed to medium and whisk until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.

5 large egg whites

⅓ cup sugar

½ teaspoon lemon juice

⅛ teaspoon salt

Add the sugar-starch mixture

Reduce to the lowest mixer speed. Add the sugar-starch mixture 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until combined after each addition. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and whip the meringue until stiff peaks start to form, about 3 minutes.

Finish the meringue

Add the vinegar and vanilla, if using. Whip on medium-high until stiff peaks form and the meringue is glossy, about 2 more minutes.

2 teaspoons white vinegar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Make the pavlova base

Using a rubber spatula, spread the meringue into a rectangular shape on a parchment-lined June Pan. Leave a border between the meringue and the side of the June Pan to ensure the baked pavlova can be easily lifted out.

Bake and crisp the pavlova

Place the pavlova on the middle shelf of the June Oven. Bake 1½ hours, until the pavlova is crisp and dry, and an exterior shell has formed. June will notify you when to check the meringue. If the pavlova is not completely dry, follow onscreen instructions to keep cooking. Allow the pavlova to remain in the June at least 2 hours to crisp and continue to dry out before cooling completely at room temperature and serving or wrapping tightly.

Add the whipped cream

With a spatula, gently spread the whipped cream on the pavlova, leaving a 1” border.

¾ cup whipped cream

Add the lemon curd

Dollop the curd over the whipped cream in a few places. Gently swirl the curd and cream together with a toothpick, skewer or knife.

¼ cup blackberries

Garnish and serve

Sprinkle with the mint, if using. Serve immediately.
