Honey Curd Pavlovas with Pistachio & Blueberries

Ingredients

1. Preheat oven to 150°C (fan-forced). Line a large tray with baking paper.
2. Using a stand mixer (or electric beaters), whisk egg whites in a bowl on high until stiff peaks form.
3. Add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time at 30 second intervals. Continue whisking for 5-6 minutes until glossy and stiff.
4. Add vinegar and vanilla essence and whisk for 2 minutes until glossy and combined.
5. Spoon 6 large rounds of meringue onto a prepared tray, leaving 5cm of space between each. Use a spoon to indent the middle of each meringue round.
6. Reduce oven to 120°C (fan-forced). Bake for 30 minutes, or until crisp to the touch.
7. Turn oven off and leave meringues to cool in oven for 1 hour with door closed.
8. While meringues are baking, make honey curd. Fill a medium saucepan ¼ full of water. Place on stovetop and bring to a simmer.
9. In a heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks, honey, and lemon juice. Place bowl on top of simmering water and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
10. Add butter to bowl, 2 cubes at a time. Allow butter to melt and combine into mixture each time. Continue to stir for 2-3 minutes until curd thickens. Pour into a bowl and allow to cool.
11. To serve: top each meringue with whipped cream, cold honey curd, pistachios, and fresh blueberries.
12. Storage instructions: Honey curd can be made a few days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Meringues can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container.
