Prepare the Tropical Pavlova
Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius) and place a rack in the lower-middle position.
Trace a 10-inch (26 centimeter) circle onto a sheet of Gefen Parchment Paper. Flip it over and place it on a baking sheet.
Place the egg whites and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until soft
peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until the meringue
is thick, glossy, and holds stiff peaks. Sprinkle with potato starch, add lemon
juice, and gently fold to combine. Fold in the coconut carefully, keeping as much air in the mixture as possible.Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a 10-inch
(26-centimeter) circle, building up the sides to about two and 1/2 to three inches (six to seven and 112 centimeters) high to create a wide, shallow well in the center. Smooth the outside lightly while leaving soft swirls for texture. Alternatively, draw eight circles connected to each other on parchment paper. Pipe egg white mixture onto each of the eight circles, creating a small well in the middle of each (as pictured here).Bake for one and 1/2 hours, until the exterior is dry and crisp. If the well puffs up during baking, gently press down the center with the back of a spoon about halfway through baking, once the surface has just set.
Turn the oven off, prop the door open slightly, and allow the pavlova to cool
completely inside the oven for at least one hour, or overnight, to prevent cracking and collapse. Make sure to keep the oven door propped open so no moisture or
humidity gets trapped in the oven, as that can make the meringue get soggy.
