May 09, 2025 11:15 AM
Crisp on the outside, marshmallowy on the inside, and topped with billowy whipped cream and a vibrant fruit medley, this pavlova is sure to steal the show at any gathering. Plus, it’s simpler to make than you might think!
Pavlova is a popular dessert that originated in either Australia or New Zealand (both countries claim its invention) and is named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. It consists of a crisp meringue base that is typically topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit.
The meringue base of pavlova is made from stiffly beaten egg whites and sugar, which are baked at a low temperature until crisp on the outside but soft and marshmallow-like on the inside. This results in a dessert that is light, airy, and irresistibly delicious.
Why you’ll love this recipe
Easy streamlined method – Pavlova can be very technical, but it can be made easy. In this recipe, I’ll highlight the key factors for success without overcomplicating it.
Perfect texture – The contrast between the crispy outer shell and cloud-like, melt-in-your-mouth center makes every bite feel like heaven.
Exquisite taste – The pavlova itself tastes like a lightly toasted, fluffy marshmallow. The whipped cream adds a rich and creamy flavor and the fresh fruit adds a bit of tartness and vibrance to balance all the components.
