    • 🧂 ⅓ cup white sugar
    • 🥚 4 large egg yolks
    • 🧂 1 pinch sea salt
    • 3 tablespoons coconut oil, at room temperature

  • Whipped Cream

    • 🥛 1 cup heavy cream
    • 🧂 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
    • 1 teaspoon orange blossom water (Optional)

  • Fruits

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and trace three circles on it. Flip the parchment paper over.

2

Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add white sugar. Mix cornstarch and superfine sugar in a small bowl and gradually add it to the meringue. Beat until stiff and glossy, and fold in orange blossom water and vinegar.

3

Spoon meringue into the traced circles, shaping the edges higher than the center to hold the filling.

4

Bake meringues for about 1 hour until firm and dry. Turn off the oven and let them cool inside for an additional 1 hour.

5

To make lemon curd, simmer 1 inch of water in a saucepan. Whisk together lemon juice, zest, sugar, egg yolks, and salt in a glass bowl over simmering water until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in coconut oil until combined.

6

Strain curd through a fine-mesh sieve, press with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.

7

Beat heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and orange blossom water until soft peaks form.

8

Assemble the pavlova by spooning lemon curd into the meringue centers, topping with whipped cream, and garnishing with grapefruit, orange, persimmon slices, and pomegranate seeds.
