- Preheat oven to 120°C (100°C fan-forced). Draw a 20cm circle on baking paper and place facing down on a baking tray.
- Place lemon zest between two sheets of kitchen paper, to help remove excess oil from the zest.
- Place zest in small bowl with cornflour, tossing until well coated. Set aside until required.
- Using an electric stand mixer, beat egg whites and salt together until soft peaks form.
- Add sugar slowly, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture becomes thick, glossy and sugar has dissolved. With the final tablespoon of sugar, add zest mixture and vanilla, mixing until combined.
- Add lemon juice and very gently fold by hand into egg white mixture.
- Spoon mixture onto prepared baking tray, in the centre of the circle and using a spatula gently spread to the edge of the circle. Place baking tray in preheated oven and cook for 2 hours.
- Turn oven off and leave pavlova in oven to cool for 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
- For the yoghurt cream, whisk cream and vanilla to soft peaks.
- Add the yoghurt and beat until you have medium peaks. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until required.
To serve, carefully place pavlova on a serving plate, top with yoghurt cream and freshly sliced fruit. Serve immediately.
