Ingredients

For the meringue
  • 4 eggs whites ideally room temperature
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch sifted
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
For the topping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Top a large baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar, a little at time until meringue is stiff.  Beat in sifted cornstarch, vanilla & lemon juice. Mixture should be very stiff and hold its shape well if mounded
  3. To form the wreath, scoop a dollop of meringue onto the parchment. Repeat until a ring of meringue is complete. Smooth the meringue as needed. The top can be left mounded or flattened, depending on the amount of topping you are using.
  4. Place meringue in oven, and immediately reduce temperature to 250. Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes. When time is complete, turn off the oven and leave meringue in the oven until completely cool, about 4 hours.
  5. Before serving, beat the whipped cream until stiff. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla then beat briefly until combined.
  6. When meringue is cool, loosen gently from the parchment with a thin flat tool and move to a serving dish. Spread with whipped cream, and decorate as desired.
  7. Serve within a few hours of topping.
