Pavlova is a classic dessert that boasts a crisp meringue crust and a soft, marshmallowy interior. Named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, this meringue-based dessert is traditionally topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit. Whether you’re an experienced baker or a novice, this recipe will guide you through creating a show-stopping pavlova that’s perfect for any occasion.
- Ensure your mixing bowl and whisk are completely clean and free from any grease, as this can affect how well the egg whites whip.
- Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites, one tablespoon at a time, to ensure it fully dissolves and creates a stiff, glossy meringue.
- Don’t over-beat the egg whites; stop as soon as they hold stiff peaks.
- Use a spoon to create a slight well in the center of the meringue on your baking tray. This will hold the whipped cream and toppings after baking.
- Allow the pavlova to cool completely in the oven with the door ajar to prevent it from cracking.
- Top the pavlova just before serving to keep it from becoming soggy.
Creating a classic pavlova requires some attention to detail, but the result is a beautifully elegant and delicious dessert that is well worth the effort. By following these steps and tips, you can master this meringue marvel and impress your friends and family with a dessert that’s as stunning as it is scrumptious.
