Passionfruit Meringue Kisses - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 None egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp cornstarch, sifted
1/2 tsp white vinegar (or verjus or lemon juice )
None None Passionfruit Curd
4 None eggs, at room temperature, whisked
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter, chopped
1/2 cup passionfruit juice, strained
2 tsp lemon zest

Preparation

Preheat oven to 250\u00b0F. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
Whip egg whites to soft peaks. Gradually add sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until thick and glossy. Beat in cornstarch and vinegar. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a 2/3 inch fluted tip. Pipe 50 rounds (about 1 inch diameter) onto prepared trays, 3/4 inch apart.
Bake for 2-2 1/2 hours, rotating trays halfway through cooking, until meringues are crisp and sound hollow when tapped on base. Turn off oven. Leave meringues inside, with door ajar, until completely cool.
Meanwhile, for the passionfruit curd, combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Stir constantly over very low heat for 5-6 mins, until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Chill overnight.
When ready to serve, sandwich meringues together with passionfruit curd.
