Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 150°C.
  • Draw a 20cm circle on three pieces of baking parchment and place on trays.
  • Beat egg whites with salt until soft peaks form, then gradually whisk in the sugar.
  • Fold in vinegar and cornflour and whisk at high speed until glossy stiff peaks form.
  • Divide the meringue between the three circles.
  • Bake for 60 to 75 minutes until a crisp crust forms, then cool slowly in the oven with the door open.
  • Whip cream and icing sugar to soft peaks and stir in passion fruit flesh.
  • Melt lemon zest, juice, sugar, and butter in a bowl over simmering water.
  • Whisk whole eggs and yolk together, then stir into the lemon mixture.
  • Heat the curd over simmering water for 10 to 13 minutes until thick enough to coat a spoon.
  • Stack meringue discs with layers of passion fruit cream and drizzled lemon curd.
  • Decorate the top with remaining curd and lemon zest.
