Ingredients

egg whites
4 large
granulated sugar
1 c
kosher salt
⅛ tsp
blackberries
12 oz
granulated sugar
½ c
water
¼ c
heavy cream
whipped softly with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 c
lemon curd
1 c
blackberries
6 oz
powdered sugar
1 tbsp

Directions

Make the baked meringues:

1
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Place the egg whites in a large mixing bowl and whip on medium high speed until frothy.  
3
Gradually and very S-L-O-W-L-Y, add the sugar, while continuing to whip.  
4
Add the salt and whip until the meringue holds stiff peaks.  
5
Scoop the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, in two equal rounds.  Use the back of a spoon or silicone spatula to spread the meringue into a circle approximately 6-inches in diameter and 1-inch high.  
6
Bake for one hour, turn off the oven, and prop the oven door open with the handle of a wooden spoon.  Allow the meringues to come to room temperature in the oven.

Make the blackberry sauce:

1
Place the blackberries, sugar, and water in a small pot and cook over medium-low heat until the berries have softened and the liquid has thickened (about 15 minutes).  Cool completely.

Assemble the pavlova:

1
Just before serving, place one round of baked meringue on a cake plate.  
2
Top with half the whipped cream, half the lemon curd, half the blackberry sauce, and half the fresh blackberries.  
3
Top with the remaining round of baked meringue, and repeat.  
4
Dust with powdered sugar.
