Gently fold in cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
Spoon mixture inside the circle drawn on the parchment paper. Working from the center, spread mixture toward the outside edge and build the edge slightly. This should leave a slight depression in the center.

Bake in the preheated oven until meringue is dry and sounds hollow when tapped, about 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack.

Recipe Tips
Make sure that no trace of grease or egg yolk gets into the whites, as this will prevent them from forming stiff peaks.
To prevent your meringue from being flat and grainy, beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Overbeaten egg whites lose volume and deflate when folded into other ingredients.
If you prefer sweetened whipped cream, add 2 teaspoons of sugar while whipping the cream.
You can substitute kiwi with other fruit, like sliced strawberries, pineapple, and mango.
