Fresh Berry Pavlova | Easy Foolproof Recipe

Показать описание

Pavlova is an Australian/New Zealand dessert. We first learned about it when we watched an episode of Nadiya Bakes on Netflix. I love meringue, and this was like meringue to a whole new level. That was our 1st attempt at pavlova.

We’ve experimented quite a bit since then, and this recipe is how we like our pavlova. Pavlova can be quite finicky, until we discovered the Swiss Meringue method of creating the meringue, courtesy of an America’s Test Kitchen episode we watched. It feels pretty foolproof now, and we’re happy to finally share our love of pavlova with you all.
