    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    2

    In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.

    3

    Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Gently fold to combine.

    4

    Divide the meringue into two equal portions and spread each portion into a circle on the prepared baking sheets. Bake the meringues for 90-120 minutes, or until they are completely dry but not browned. Let them cool completely in the oven with the door ajar.

    5

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently spread the whipped cream over one of the meringue layers.

    6

    Arrange the fresh berries over the whipped cream, then carefully place the other meringue layer on top. You can add more whipped cream and berries to the top if desired.

    7

    Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
