While a pavlova may seem like a super fancy dessert, it’s actually very easy to make. It’s a giant meringue with a fluffy interior.

The key to elevating this dessert is topping it with Chantilly cream, berries, syrup, and beautiful flowers.

Ingredients

Like meringues of all kinds, pavlova requires egg whites. I use 4 whites for a 6-inch diameter one. To get the best pavlova, use fresh eggs instead of old ones.

Do you know how to make Italian meringue buttercream, Swiss meringue buttercream, and French buttercream frostings? Here’s the scoop (or swirl)!
