1. For the lemon curd: In a saucepan, add all the lemon curd ingredients and simmer over low heat, stirring continuously, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened. Pour into a bowl and allow to cool.
2. For the filling: Bring the orange juice and sugar to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until the liquid has halved and has a syrupy consistency. Add the fruit to a large bowl and pour over the hot syrup. Let it cool.
3. To assemble: Place the pavlova on a serving platter. Spoon the lemon curd on top and spread it over the base. Whip the cream and icing sugar together until soft peaks form. Spoon onto the curd. Add the fruit on top of the cream. To finish, drizzle over any leftover orange syrup and add a sprinkle of biscuit crumbs. Serve.
