My Favorite Pavlova Recipe!

A Pavlova, in my humble opinion is the perfect way to end a meal! They’re light as air, crispy, and creamy with plenty of zing from fresh fruit. It’s hard to beat! I love that it comes together with only a few ingredients and you can make the meringue in advance so you’re able to whip up an amazing dessert in a few minutes on the day of.

I had SO MANY requests for this video, I can't tell you how excited I am to share the tutorial with you! If you haven't had a Pavlova before it's definitely worth trying!

I’m here because of a kids show called Bluey. One of their episodes was based on a Pavlova. I got curious and looked it up and here I am. Never even knew this dessert existed and now I must try it.

Dear John, You probably won’t ever read this because you are very famous and don’t read these posts. But I just wanted to say, before I started watching your KZbin channel I used to burn cookies. Who burns cookies?! But thanks to you I have conquered all my fears of baking! I can make banana bread, cookies, muffins, mug cakes, and today I made a apple pie. Did it take me 4 hours? Yes it did. Was it worth it? Absolutely! You have taught me the fun of baking and you inspire me so much. God bless you and I hope you and your family are staying safe during this covid-19 crisis. Thank you so much for teaching me to love baking. You’re the best and I hope to meet you one day.

Tip: if the top is super cracked/ sunken, you can always turn the pavlova upside down and place the whipped cream on top! Then decorate as usual. The crispy meringue is now the base! 😋

@@PreppyKitchen A slight swirl of good quality lemon curd through the cream is always good :) Helps cut the sweetness and still refreshing. That was my Mum's "secret" for years haha

Topped with whipped cream, strawberries and passionfruit which is the traditional topping. To this day, pavlova is my most favourite dessert. You did Australia proud with your recipe. Well done.

They're all amazingly delicious. Pavlova is one of my favorite things to eat and definitely my favorite to bake.

Hi, proud Kiwi here. The recipe i got from my mum always has a tablespoon or two of hot water at the end, sure to make it SUPER marshmallowy , no need to scoop out the divot in the top, it bakes up a dream and makes it soft all the way through and then it drops a little as it cools. Love your videos and you're always soo helpful with textures and extra things to look out for when baking to make it work. Keep up the fantastic work.

Hi, Love watching your videos 😊. In Australia we put the egg yolks to good use and make lemon or passion fruit curd to go with the Pavlova. We put the cream first. Then the curd and then top with fruit. Mango slices and Kiwifruit slices are my favourite. We make it on Anzac Day to commemorate the Australian New Zealand Army Corp alliance in WWI. Kiwis are like our little cousins across the ditch. We love them and vice versa.

[@nancyfenity9817]

Reminds me of a recipe I came across in a magazine many years ago for "Schwaum Torte". It looked soooo good I had to make it. Three layers of baked meringue. Alternating with layers of whipped cream and fresh juicy peaches. It was a masterpiece and so heavenly delicious. I haven't made it since because I was always in a hurry and it does take quite a bit of time. But, it would taste the same made like the Pavlova with a single layer of each meringue, peaches (or other ripe fruit) and whipped cream. A beautiful summertime dessert when you can obtain fresh ripe fruit.💜😋💜

[@CopenhagenDreaming]

I've tried something similar with a layered meringue cake - and really... Just do a Pavlova! So much easier, and it looks just as good and tastes the same. (We can't get good peaches here in Denmark, but we have excellent strawberries during the brief season.)

Removing the fat is important because the egg whites won't properly inflate if there's any fat. Thank you New Zealand chef for giving us the Pavlova! I love your demos! One caution: you can't check on Pavlova. Don't open the oven until it's done, then don't move it until the oven has cooled completely. I'm sure it's in his recipe on the blog. Also, he would have cooked the single serving baby Pav separately for this same reason. As he said, it needs shorter cooking time, so they can't go into the oven together.
