Ingredients

1 cup white sugar, divided
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

Directions

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, drawing a 9-inch circle as a guide.
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of sugar with the cornstarch.
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks begin to form.
Gradually add the remaining sugar while continuing to beat until the mixture becomes thick, glossy, and forms stiff peaks.
Carefully fold in the cornstarch mixture and lemon juice until just combined.
Spread the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a circle with slightly raised edges.
Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and allow the meringue to rest inside for 30 minutes without opening the door.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
Whip the heavy cream with confectioners’ sugar until stiff peaks develop.
Spread the whipped cream over the cooled meringue and top with sliced strawberries.
