Crisp on the outside, marshmallowy on the inside, these Pavlova Bombs are filled with lemon curd and raspberry sauce, topped with crushed pistachios and fresh raspberries. A bite-sized twist on a classic dessert that’s perfect for any celebration.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup lemon curd
  • ½ cup raspberry sauce or jam
  • Fresh raspberries, for topping
  • 2 tablespoons crushed pistachios
  • Fresh mint leaves, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, whipping until glossy stiff peaks form.
  4. Fold in cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
  5. Using a piping bag or spoon, form small round nests on the tray and create a shallow center in each.
  6. Bake for 90 minutes, then turn off the oven and let the meringues cool inside with the door slightly open.
  7. Once cooled, carefully remove from the tray.
  8. Fill each center with lemon curd and raspberry sauce.
  9. Top with fresh raspberries, crushed pistachios, and mint leaves if using.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Let egg whites come to room temperature for better whipping.
  • Fill just before serving to keep meringues crisp.
  • You can make the meringue shells a day ahead.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge but note that texture may soften.
