MIXED BERRY PAVLOVA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees F.
• Place a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet pan. Draw a 9-inch circle on the paper, using a 9-inch plate as a guide, then turn the paper over so the circle is on the reverse side. (This way you won't get a pencil mark on the meringue.)
• Place the egg whites and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat the egg whites on high speed until firm, about 1 minute. With the mixer still on high, slowly add the sugar and beat until it makes firm, shiny peaks, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer, sift the cornstarch onto the beaten egg whites, add the vinegar and vanilla, and fold in lightly with a rubber spatula. Pile the meringue into the middle of the circle on the parchment paper and smooth it within the circle, making a rough disk. Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Turn off the oven, keep the door closed, and allow the meringue to cool completely in the oven, about 1 hour. It will be crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
• Invert the meringue disk onto a plate and spread the top completely with sweetened whipped cream. Combine the strawberries, blueberries and raspberries in a bowl and toss with about 1/2 cup of raspberry sauce, or enough to coat the berries lightly. Spoon the berries carefully into the middle of the Pavlova, leaving a border of cream and meringue. Serve immediately in large scoops with extra raspberry sauce.
• Sweetened Whipped Cream:
• Whip the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (you can also use a hand mixer). When it starts to thicken, add the sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until firm. Don't overbeat!
• Yield: 1 cup
• Triple Raspberry Sauce:
• Place the raspberries, sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 4 minutes. Pour the cooked raspberries, the jam, and framboise into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until smooth. Chill.
• Yield: 2 cups

PAVLOVA WITH LEMON CREAM AND BERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 225°. Whisk together sugar and cornstarch. Beat egg whites at medium-high speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer 1 minute; add cream of tartar and salt, beating until blended. Gradually add sugar mixture, 1 tablespoons at a time, beating at medium-high speed until mixture is glossy, stiff peaks form, and sugar dissolves. (Do not overbeat.) Beat in vanilla. Gently spread mixture into a 7-inch round on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, making an indentation in center of meringue to hold filling.
• Bake at 225° for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until pale golden and outside has formed a crust. Turn oven off; let meringue stand in oven, with door closed and light on, 12 hours.
• Meanwhile, whisk together lemon curd and sour cream until smooth. Cover and chill.
• Spoon lemon mixture into center of meringue, and top with fruit. (Center of meringue may fall once the lemon mixture and berries have been added.) Garnish with zest, if desired.

PAVLOVA WITH RASPBERRY CURD AND BERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Trace two 6-inch circles onto a piece of parchment paper. Turn over and use paper to line a baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on high until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Beat in 1/4 cup sugar. With mixer running, add 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Stop mixer and scrape down bowl. Continue to beat on high until whites are very stiff and glossy, and sugar has almost completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla extract.
• Gently shape 2 rounds of meringue on sheet, using circles as a guide. Smooth tops. Bake until meringues are crispy on the outside and detach easily from paper, about 1 1/2 hours, rotating sheet halfway through. Turn oven off and let meringues cool completely in oven. Gently peel from paper and place on serving plates; top each with 1 cup whipped heavy cream, 2/3 cup raspberry or lemon curd, and 1 1/2 cups mixed berries tossed with 1 tablespoon sugar.
