Perfect Pavlova Recipe

This classic Pavlova is simply delicious! Named after the iconic Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, this light-as-air meringue dessert is a gorgeous centerpiece for any dinner party. Baked meringue with a crisp, crackly outer shell housing the softest, marshmallowy center. Top that with a mountain of luscious whipped cream and a vibrant array of fresh fruits, a drizzle of lemon curd if desired, and you’ve got yourself not just a dessert, but a full sensory experience!

Your background as a teacher is one of the reasons why you are fantastic at explaining what you're doing. Very thorough, entertaining, and 4.54M people agree, John Kanell is a baking hero!

Pastry chef tip: whenever making meringue for pavlova, whip it to soft peaks instead of stiff peaks. It’s a bit counterintuitive, but it works because if you whip it to soft peaks, the air bubbles will still have space to “grow” within the meringue structure in the oven without collapsing it. Whipping to stiff peaks will make the air bubbles “pop” with the oven heat and the result will be a less airy, more dense meringue

Pavlova is my family’s favorite dessert. They ask for it at every holiday. And I’m glad you made this today because most people don’t know what it is and it’s delicious!

Pavlova is a Christmas favourite in Australia. Great with strawberries, bananas, mango, passion fruit, raspberries, add chocolate etc. yum❤

I made this for my BFF last week for her birthday and she loved it! (And so did I!) I have been craving it ever since and am going to make it again this weekend. Thank you so much!

I first had pavlova in New Zealand and fell in love with it. Mary Berry had a recipe where she used the yolks to make lemon curd to go on top of the pavlova, too. I don't think it's traditional, but it is a very yummy addition.

I like crispy crunchy chewy pavlova. I'm from New Zealand so thats a favorite dessert here for decades. I also like the rolled one with coconut.

I just made a pavlova today. It turned out really good. The berries contrast with all that sweetness. Thanks for the recipe John.
