Start the meringue
Combine the egg whites, the ⅓ cup sugar, lemon juice and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or medium bowl if using a hand mixer. Whisk on medium-low 2 minutes, then increase the speed to medium and whisk until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.

5 large egg whites
⅓ cup sugar
½ teaspoon lemon juice
⅛ teaspoon salt
Add the sugar-starch mixture
Reduce to the lowest mixer speed. Add the sugar-starch mixture 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until combined after each addition. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and whip the meringue until stiff peaks start to form, about 3 minutes.
Finish the meringue
Add the vinegar and vanilla, if using. Whip on medium-high until stiff peaks form and the meringue is glossy, about 2 more minutes.
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Make the pavlova base
Using a rubber spatula, spread the meringue into a rectangular shape on a parchment-lined June Pan. Leave a border between the meringue and the side of the June Pan to ensure the baked pavlova can be easily lifted out.

Bake and crisp the pavlova
Place the pavlova on the middle shelf of the June Oven. Bake 1½ hours, until the pavlova is crisp and dry, and an exterior shell has formed. June will notify you when to check the meringue. If the pavlova is not completely dry, follow onscreen instructions to keep cooking. Allow the pavlova to remain in the June at least 2 hours to crisp and continue to dry out before cooling completely at room temperature and serving or wrapping tightly.
Add the whipped cream
With a spatula, gently spread the whipped cream on the pavlova, leaving a 1” border.
¾ cup whipped cream
Add the lemon curd
Dollop the curd over the whipped cream in a few places. Gently swirl the curd and cream together with a toothpick, skewer or knife.
