British Couple React to Aussie Christmas & Eat Pavlova! 🎄🇦🇺

[@TheDavidfallon]

Mate, this is Australia, not “la de da” Paris or something. You make it any way you bloody like! Although whipped cream does taste better. And is perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Crusty on the outside and soft on the inside: that's Australia all over.

[@linzihorrocks7375]

😂

[@behinddreaming]

It looked lovely. As others suggested whipping the cream yourself is generally how it's done. I suggest adding some passionfruit next time drizzled amongst the berries. I find this helps with the sweetness of a Pavlova. Enjoy your next adventure.

[@markyore86]

I was going to ask what happened to the passionfruit. That adds some acidity to balance out the sweetness of the other ingredients. Sliced mango also helps.

[@Floury_Baker]

Should have been whipped cream, but you made it work alright. And also agree with not letting Kiwis claim it!! 🤣😂

[@EatVentureVlog]

Thank you! Happy new year ❤️

[@juliequiney4078]

For those saying put sugar in the whipped cream..yuk! Pavlova is sweet enough already. Plain whipped cream and plenty of fruit to counteract the sweetness of the meringue.

[@cariaus3758]

Yeah, I've never put sugar in the cream, nor do I know anybody that does that. It's already so sweet it doesn't need extra sugar, but I do add vanilla essence to the whipped cream.

[@EatVentureVlog]

Thanks for the tips!

[@BarbaraMacDonald-bq1lb]

Vanilla bean paste in fresh cream is awesome as well, or plain whipped cream & topped with lemon curd is the ducks guts 👍🇦🇺

[@robertbackhouse1728]

You definitely need the passionfruit pulp.

[@EatVentureVlog]

We will do next time for sure

[@dianenorbury7335]

Fresh passionfruit if available - canned stuff is sweetened.

[@RichardBroad-rb8dn]

Well, you've eaten Pav now. That's 100 points toward your citizenship test 👌

[@Specifically_Me]

Nice work. I bought a pav base this Chrissy. I usually grab a 600ml thickened cream and whip it and pack fruit and some passionfruit pulp on top. Yours looked delicious.

[@EatVentureVlog]

Great tip! Thank you! Happy new year ❤️

[@TruthWins-b6t]

Really have to make your own whipped cream. 300ml Carton runny cream, teaspoon vanilla essence & a heaped tablespoon powdered sugar. I find it best to put bowl & beater attachments in fridge as cream whips best when really chilled. Beat till you can lift beater out of cream & it forms stiff peaks. This takes pavlova to next level.

[@rexenekay482]

And also making a pav is much more tastier and less sweeter than the bought one

[@louisekindred0059]

Exactly. I fully agree. If you use a small quantity of icing sugar, it keeps the cream stiff. It's a stabilizer. If you eat it the next day, it doesn't turn into a runny mess or collapse like thickened cream does by itself. The cream stays thick. Icing sugar doesn't make it a sugar overdose at all. I wouldn't use normal sugar. Then that would be sickly sweet. So yeah, a large container of thickened Cream, a small dash of vanilla, about a heaped dessertspn of icing sugar and beat it till thick and stands up by itself. Add more if necessary. I never measure just tip some into the bowl. Cream stays perfect for a few days or till chuck out, lol 😁that's if it lasts that long and not all eaten 🤣

[@EatVentureVlog]

Thank you! Happy new year ❤️

[@louisekindred0059]

@EatVentureVlog Happy New Year to you guys, too. I love your vloggs. Launching your new drone from the pool area was amazing, you learnt fast. You're in a beautiful area. Keep up the great work 👍 👏 ❤️

[@lesliedavis2185]

I find the meringue so sweet, I like it with plain cream and fresh ts by berries

[@darneyoung537]

You can pour mixed berry coulis over the top or passion fruit pulp on the top of whipped cream we have ours with a cheese cake

[@margaretross8486]

I made a raspberry coulis to pour over. We ended up putting the pavlova in bowls, then topping with strawberries, blueberries, double cream and coulis. I forgot there was ice cream in the freezer.

[@lynndally9160]

As others said, whipped cream, berries but add kiwi fruit and shaved chocolate or Passionfruit pulp❤

[@EatVentureVlog]

Sounds great!

[@Melh21]

The extra trick is to get a small can of passion fruit pulp and pour it over the pav after you dress it with fruits! 😉 adds a nice tartness to the sweetness. 😅

[@EatVentureVlog]

Great tip!

[@6226superhurricane]

you can put whatever fruit you want on there but as far as i'm concerned it must have passionfruit pulp on it the tang offsets the sweetness. you can whip the cream yourself with some icing sugar or for a quick and easy just buy fresh cream in a spray can. you can slap together a pav in 10 minutes with a bought base spray can of whipped cream, tin of passionfruit pulp and fruits of choice and it will be just as good or better than a home made one.

[@tiaelina1090]

For your first try of pavlova you did really well. Next time whip the cream yourself and with the fruit you used, add kiwi fruit, passion fruit pulp and banana. The kiwi fruit and passion fruit will help counter the sweetness of the pavlova. There is no wrong way to celebrate Christmas, it was so heartwarming to see you enjoying the weather as it is such a different feel than Christmas in Europe, Im from Finland so I understand the difference. I love watching you experience Australia. 👍👍👍👍

[@CLAWCUZBRO]

add kiwi fruit, passion fruit pulp and banana✅✅✅❕

[@EatVentureVlog]

Thanks for the tips!

[@JBLegal09]

Heading towards the 3K guys - glad you enjoyed your first Chrissie here 🎄🎁🦘

[@EatVentureVlog]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@AnneMorley-up1qv]

I use about twice as much cream as you used, and probably 2-3 times as much fruit literally ‘dumped’ on top. Pavs are lovely when fresh, but even stickier and more gooey when you have the leftovers out of the fridge the next morning 😋

[@tonygrabner5002]

Ya have to watch Sydney fireworks best in the world bigger and better this year remember the time difference between Sydney to Queensland keep doing what you are doing guys love it

[@Tomiskar]

Merry Christmas! Hope you’re really enjoying your holidays. Nice work with the pav! Highly recommend finishing off your fruit decoration with passionfruit over the top, it’s so refreshing and cuts through some of the sweetness.

[@EatVentureVlog]

Thank you! Happy new year ❤️

[@Mzuleft88]

The best thing about pavlova is you make it how ever you wanna make it. Everyone has there own version, I hate blueberries so I go with blackberries, strawberries, kiwi and mandarin(very small). I also buy a whole heap of passionfruit and drizzle the insides all over the top. No, I'm not a Kiwi but I am a big lover of kiwi fruit.

[@whytedraegon66]

my fam does vanilla whipped cream not sweetened strawberries on edge and the center quartered with passionfruit pulp and peppermint crisp

[@Ken-f1q]

You need to whip the cream with vanilla and a tablespoon of sugar until it's light and fluffy. You can use bananas and chocolate scrapings on top.

[@EatVentureVlog]

Thank you! Happy new year ❤️

[@brettchong6328]

Pavlova is an Eton mess that hasn't been dropped

[@dianenorbury7335]

Definitely not! Pavlova has way more marshmallow than meringue in texture.

[@karekerry4362]

Another enjoyable vlog from you two😊.You tried with the pavlova.You need Thickened cream and just use electric beater to whip the cream till it forms peaks.Use fruit of your choice.Kerp in fridge for hour or so before serving.Keep on keeping on❤

[@gavinfoster8607]

It is like a mousse, since it is whipped eggs whites basically., which is what mousse is.

[@cdyoutoob]

Passionfruit pulp, kiwi fruit, mango and nice additions, first two do tone down the sweetness a bit. Heard lemon curd is another good addition. It's mostly about the presentation and colour.

[@ironside210]

If you liked it, you have done it right. The only thing is to use whipped pure cream, and more of it, everywhere!!

[@JB-lx8cw]

No jam on top. Add passionfruit pulp which you can buy in a small tin. Whipped cream instead.

[@cherylannb3161]

A dash of cornflour makes the pav marshmallow.

[@andyossie]

You guys were spreading the cream on there saying, “hope we are doing okay with this “ Me: beautiful, put ALL that cream on there…even some of the other tub lol….and the fruit…nearly enough fruit!😊

[@EatVentureVlog]

Love that! Thank you! Happy new year ❤️

[@charlesemerson6763]

One of the best new years I ever had was standing on the steps of the opera house with about everyone else in Sydney on the Bicentennial year, 1988, and watched the fireworks coming from everywhere.

[@EatVentureVlog]

That sounds amazing! 🙌

[@Shazzadut1]

I was fortunate enough to work at the Sydney Opera House and had the best New Year’s Eve on the boardroom balcony of the SOH, when it became year 2000. Fireworks, floating light boats shaped like fish and sea creatures. It was unforgettable.

[@garthwaters5756]

whipped cream with kiwi fruit and passion fruit as well , but that one is ok lol

[@judileeming1589]

You can buy a really small can of passion fruit pulp in the Supermarket and drizzle it over the fruit. I whip the cream myself but it is what it is so, honestly it all goes down the same way and as long as you liked it 🤷‍♀️ who cares. My grandchildren being grandchildren like a crumbled flake and peppermint crisp with passion fruit pulp as a topping. Marshmallow is an appropriate description.

[@EatVentureVlog]

That's a great idea!

[@heathermeaney7161]

The normal thing is to use thickened pouring cream and whip it until stiff.

[@xymonau2468]

You don't add jam. It's already loaded with sugar. The cream and the fruit cut through the sweetness. Generally you'd use whipped cream. Carols by Candlelight is the big thing here. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you both.

[@EatVentureVlog]

Thanks for sharing🙏

[@ExAussieNavalAircrew]

We use whipped cream, then strawberries and passionfruit. YUMMO!

[@EatVentureVlog]

Sounds great!

[@peterm4683]

To avoid whipping cream, buy Dollop cream which can be poured directly on the Pavlova.

[@davidjohnpaul333]

Like everyone else is saying, you need to make fresh cream. Buy 600ml of thickened cream, add at least 1 tbs of sugar & whip away

[@karenjoy7557]

We used to use normal cream whip with icing sugar maybe some vanilla for taste to perks... Then U put dollops on the pavalova the cut strawberries or any fruit...you like but a must is Passionfruit fresh then some people put chaved chocolate... Never had icecream at all...could have more fresh fruit...on the side... U should of Google how to make it... And Christmas Cake and home made Pudding with brandy Butter and Custard...with brandy heated up...pudding and Custard... Goodluck making another Pavalova... In Coles U can buy little ones come in a packet of 6 I think and U can put Custard cream and fruit on them U would love them...😂❤😂❤

[@TheSamleigh]

JAM!! Ewghh … Home Made EARS! OH YEAH I’m up with the lingo. Anyways -vStore bought will never be true Pavlova - looked good tho. Store bought is really much sweeter than home made. … CUSTARD!! Merd! Sacrilege!. 3 years of French at Grammar & I’m sure merd is spelt wrong. ‘Twas money well spent eh. Have a fun NYE btw. Cheers.

[@francinelynn334]

Home made pavlova base is much better than shop bought one. Home made are crunchier on the outside and not so much soft meringue. Easy to make.

[@bingo000]

You need to whip your cream. You can also add mint leaves on top for that extra something 🙂

[@EatVentureVlog]

Thanks for the tip!

[@rodpope7838]

Probably add some passionfruit? Any fruit is good really - even mango

[@peterdunn5910]

Whip the cream plus sliced peaches passion fruit and grated chocolate and all the fruits that you put on the more the better

[@Shazzadut1]

You can buy a Flake chocolate bar, crush it and pour that on. That’s yummy. But yes, Passionfruit is a must. Cuts the sweetness.

[@ZootZinBootZ]

Cut up mango and passionfruit with whipped cream , berries and ice cream 🎉🎉🎉

[@zoebedford3318]

no jam on Pavlova. But whipped cream is ✅️ most people make their own Meringue for sure

[@dead_formats]

You should have whipped the cream!

[@margaretasimus1569]

Youdid it right,more cream same time if you can find passfruit but you did it right ✅️

[@DianneBentley-dq5xz]

A pav should have whipped cream and needs sliced banana and passionfruit.

[@RobNMelbourne]

You must whip the cream so it fluffs up then it holds the fruit better.

[@EatVentureVlog]

We’ll do that next time 🙌

[@meghanvidler9147]

Whip normal cream with a little vanillin sugar, top with fruit - I use cut strawberries, cherries, blueberries, kiwi fruit. NO JAM. Love our pavlovas.

[@davidhynd4435]

The base is commonly called a pavlova case (at least here in NSW). As others have pointed out, the case is traditionally filled with whipped cream (I prefer unsweetened cream because pavlova is sugar overload already). Banana slices are also common, as is tinned fruit salad (sometimes called fruit cocktal) - drained a bit first, strawberries are common, and the whole thing is often then drizzled with passionfruit pulp (either fresh or tinned). I've seen videos of Americans adding choc chips and other horrors. Please don't. Mango slices would be nice. Basically, the traditional pavvy is: meringue case, chilled whipped cream, summer fruits (bulked out with some tinned fruit), passionfruit drizzle. Followed by failure of your pancreas from all that sugar :)

[@gordanalapham5769]

OMG.. I ♥ pav.. Could eat one on my own😂

[@Bellas1717]

Really enjoyed watching this. Yes, pavlova is best home made. No, strong shaking head over the jam...Passionfruit cuts the sweetness. Cheers.

[@EatVentureVlog]

Thanks for the tips!

[@SueVeitch-nu1vs]

I feel the important issue here is not what fruit you put on (though there should always be passionfruit imo) l think the only good pavs are homemade! I find the store bought tasteless, with too much marshmallow. P.s they’re actually super easy to make.

[@xymonau2468]

Are you going to K'gari/Fraser Island?

[@mrbaker1739]

Ex pastry chef here. I would put a bit more thicker cream on but in reality there is no fixed recipe just do it your way and put on whatever you like.

[@EatVentureVlog]

Thanks for the tip!

[@teresastoakes5140]

there is no wrong way to have your pav.. as long as you enjoy it.....

[@EatVentureVlog]

We sure did!!!

[@susangrant7544]

No need to put sugar in the cream, the Pav is loaded with it, makes it too sweet! Lol

[@EatVentureVlog]

Thanks for the tip!

[@PatriciaMegna]

Nice to put passionfruit on top

[@Teejayhaych28]

Strawberries and a couple of crushed flake bars make a good pav topping

[@EatVentureVlog]

Thank you! Happy new year ❤️

[@linzihorrocks7375]

Oooo... Gorgeous 🎉

[@tonygrabner5002]

Ya have to watch the Sydney fireworks best in the world bigger and better this year remember the time difference Sydney to Queensland keep doing what you are doing guys love it

[@Greg-e8z7s]

Looks like stone hedge being built 😂not bad for first time! As long as it tastes nice that's all that matters

[@EatVentureVlog]

You got that right!

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

Passionfruit, cut it open and put seeds on too.

[@darneyoung537]

I meant to say over the fruit and cream

[@bluetonguedplatypus6898]

Needs fresh passionfruit!

[@michelejohnson8585]

You have to whip the cream

[@roger4mac]

Topography. For maps. Think of topographic maps.

[@debmccudden242]

I use dollop cream with my pave it's easier 😋

[@EatVentureVlog]

Great tip!

[@davidarmstrong3564]

If you were to form a group of meringue haters, you could be president and secretary, but a quorum would be impossible.

[@BillyYobboTee]

Whipped cream, kiwi fruit, and passionfruit next time guys

[@EatVentureVlog]

Next time!

[@nataliekeane8944]

I'm sorry but that bought pav was abysmal 🤣 and nothing like a proper homemade pavlova meringue. Which would be a bit more like the meringue in Eaton mess. It has a crunchy meringue top with a lovely chewy caramelised marshmallowy interior. Some like it fluffier and some like it chewier! Covered in whipped cream with banana and passionfruit (classic) or raspberries and raspberry jelly and cream...the possibilities are endless!

[@TheDivineMissMikki]

Pavlova Picasso !!!

[@louise7552]

May i ask who is the lovely lady Diana please 🙏. Cheers Louise.

[@EatVentureVlog]

She’s one of our very good friends we met when we first arrived in Australia. She’s like our family now ❤️

[@riiidiculoso8697]

You could check a recipe, instead of guessing. And then analysing your taste test, as if you were actually eating pavlova was a bit…weird. Yes, people make it from scratch.

[@paulrichardson5892]

normally no custard.

[@Sharyn-x8e]

The cream was a fail. Must be whipped. And lots of it. After you put on the fruit you need to add grated chocolate (or a broken up flake chocolate bar).

[@louisekindred0059]

You did well. But honestly, don't be so fussy. Adding passionfruit with other fruit adds a bit of tartness or even blueberries. Any fruit "you" like. Just take the hints about the cream. I reserve custard for homemade trifle only, but each to their own 😉😋

[@Jeni10]

That pavlova won’t last for four days in the fridge, maybe two, then the meringue starts to break down into liquid. Eat it before you leave.

[@EatVentureVlog]

Thanks Jeni, we shared with the neighbour 🙌

[@thereseelizabethries1083]

Lucksa is how it's pronounced

[@Shazzadut1]

Get some plastic glasses for around the pool. Glass is dangerous.

[@hardyakka6200]

Ji don,t know a thing about making a Pavlova but I,m an expert at eating them.

[@grannyof12kids]

I prefer the crunchy meringues than that version but it's ok

[@practicalnottactical]

Christmas is all about family traditions whatever they are. So maybe you both have just started your own Christmas traditions??

[@feroxranger]

Hope you enjoy our kiwi pavlova, hehe.

[@gamortie]

7:16 Eton mess is just a smashed pav….

[@dennismitchell-h9s]

Your Pav is O.K. ,but next time add Mango slices and passion fruit , and maybe banana .!

[@EatVentureVlog]

Great suggestion!

[@paulmolloy4649]

That it just the hard merange. When you mahe it peoperly is soft in the miiddle.

[@GarenandDarius]

you can make pavlova however you want, just don't say the kiwi's invented it 😂😂

[@EatVentureVlog]

😂😂

[@louisaklimentos7583]

You suppose to whip the cream but great try !

[@EatVentureVlog]

Next time!

[@dvrlogon5723]

Nooooooo😮 Whipped cream, passion fruit pulp and fresh tropical fruit is a pav.

[@daveamies5031]

@2:50 and her hair is still dry 👍

[@EatVentureVlog]

😆🕺

[@paulrichardson5892]

cut fruit smaller.

[@paulrichardson5892]

hickened real cream and no jam.

[@paulrichardson5892]

dont need to place the fruit ,just mix all up and throw it on.

[@junemcgregor8083]

That’s not the best pavlova to me. The best one is the one you make yourself with egg whites and sugar which is quite crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. Much nicer. The cream & berries are fine though

[@nevilleapple629]

Not a big fan of it. I have chopped banana ,jelly and ice cream with it to make it palatable.

[@MaryParker-p2q]

Bananas on the base cream ,thick. Sit fruit,or peppermint crisp crushed, flake crushed

[@EatVentureVlog]

Thank you! Happy new year ❤️

[@Paris45627]

Pavlova is a Russian language it’s there creation

[@anthonywilson6554]

That's not a normal pavlova

[@louise7552]

Whipped cream, almost 1/3 deep. NO JAM, NO CUSTARD. GOD FORBID 🚫 YOU'D BE DEPORTED ASAP. passion fruit added ontop last after your berries and kiwifruit slice thin.
