<\/p>\nPavlovas are my favourite dessert: Crisp meringue base, marshmallowy center, whipped cream, & fruit. Here are some tasty Pavlova recipes to try!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s my favourite meringue-based dessert: The outside is crisp any crunchy - like meringue cookies - but with a marshmallow-like center. After the baked meringue cools, the top of the pavlova is piled with whipped cream and fresh fruit.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s said to have been named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, as the round meringue base and layers of whipped cream and fruit vaguely resembles a tutu.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I\u2019ve always considered it the perfect summer dessert, but recently found out that it\u2019s most popular during Christmas time.<\/p>\n
I suppose that make sense: depending on which country you side with, it\u2019s either from New Zealand or Australia - and hugely popular in both. <\/p>\n
Of course, their summer season falls right over our winter holiday season, here in North America.<\/p><\/div>\n
Of course, fruit is very seasonal... so I do tend to vary the type of Pavlovas I make, based on what\u2019s available.<\/p>\n
Also, I love to make holiday themed Pavlovas, and tend to get wild with that. <\/p>\n
My perfect light Pavlova for summer might involve fresh berries, kiwi fruit, and mangos... but then I also have fun making Halloween Pavlovas, with \u201cbloody eyeballs\u201d made from lychees, blueberries, and jam.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m nothing if not flexible, LOL.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the next time you\u2019re looking for a unique dessert to serve at a get together or dinner party, consider making a Pav! <\/p>\n
