Add 4 teaspoons of cornstarch, 4 teaspoons of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and gently stir to combine.

Spoon the meringue onto a baking tray, shaping it into a circle with a well in the center.

Preheat the oven to 130°C (266°F) and bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 100°C (212°F) and bake for an additional 90 minutes.

Turn off the oven and allow the meringue to cool inside for about an hour and 40 minutes.

Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form and prepare the strawberries for topping.

Spread the whipped cream over the cooled meringue and top with strawberries and a dusting of powdered sugar.
