I have loved this recipe ever since I stumbled upon it as a college student. It is quick and easy and delicious and so easy to adapt. (Try adding cinnamon, nuts, seeds, dried fruit....) I usually double it and bake in a cookie sheet.

Easy Pavlova
4 large egg whites (must be room temp!)
1 1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. arrowroot
1 pint heavy cream
6 kiwi, peeled and sliced
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw a 9-inch circle on the parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gradually add in the sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until thick and glossy. Gently fold in vanilla extract, lemon juice, and arrowroot.
Spoon mixture inside the circle drawn on the parchment paper. Working from the center, spread mixture toward the outside edge, building edge slightly. This should leave a slight depression in the center.
Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack.

In a small bowl, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form; set aside. Remove the paper, and place meringue on a flat serving plate. Fill the center of the meringue with whipped cream, and top with kiwifruit slices.
This is from an Australian friend, so it is authentic and absolutely divine!
