Loooooved this recipe. I searched for a good one and this works best. What I like to do though is freeze the pav with the whipping cream on it and then add the fresh fruit just before you serve it. Theres something about the frozen pav that is amazing.

This recipe is great. Use unsweetened cream and tart fruit and it is a winner.

This recipe turned out a great pav and I didn't have castor sugar so used regular. I topped with sweetened passionfruit pulp to make it really traditional (for our Japanese guest) and it was divine. Mum flakes chocolate over hers but for summer, you can't beat strawberries!

A good basic recipe, but with these modifications: 1) I prefer it without coconut. 2) Use unsweetened whipped cream. The reason that a pav is such a spectacular dessert is the contrast: sweet, marshmallowy meringue, mild cream, tangy fruit. Sweeten the cream, and it will be too sweet. 3) Try spooning on passionfruit pulp if you can find fresh passionfruit. Not only is it traditional, but it’s the perfect foil for the pav: tangy, and crunchy. Passionfruit can be used alone, or in addition to the other fruit.

i love this recipe! It is sooooo good and has just the right flavor. But you are going to need more than just a 9 in dish to make this. I use a 15 in and it works great. And dont use passionfruit pulp because it tastes bad. You can use some almonds instead of cocanut to make it taste great!

I had 3 egg whites to use up so I decided to make this recipe (cut in half). It was not what I expected. The beaten eggwhites just fit into one pan so if you make a whole recipe you're going to need 2 pans. Also, it stuck to the pan and I had to break it out (perhaps this was my fault because I greased the pan when it didn't say to do that). And finally, the coconut was just "wrong".

This Pavola was the best I've ever made -- I served it at a luncheon recently and everyone raved about it and immediately requested the recipe. The dessert is easy to make and presents beautifully. This recipe officially replaces the Pavola recipe I've used for the last 15 years.

The cream on a paavlova should never be sweetened. Just about a quarter of a teaspoon of icing sugar should be added to take away the edge. This pavlova was too sweet with the sweetened cream.

I chose this recipe b/c it didn't call for cornstarch like the others (didn't have any on hand), and it turned out great, dinner guests really enjoyed it. I followed the recipe for the meringue exactly (going with the no-coconut option) and it made 2 glass pie dishes, not just 1, so I get to serve pavlova again with tonight's dinner! Very light. A little sweet for me, but I think that's the point of the meringue, right? I wish I had whipped my own cream, but I didn't have any on hand. A favorite alternative for me is the fat-free cool whip b/c it's not too sweet (like I said, I'm not into overly-sweet things).

I made this recipe today (Father's Day) and it was a hit. I had been looking for a Pavlova recipe that called for vinegar, as I was told this was a key ingredient in making the meringue crispy on the outside and marshmallowy on the inside. I did follow the suggestion I read here of reducing the sugar in the whipped cream, I only added about a tablespoon of powdered sugar to my whipping cream. I guess if you must buy the cream all whipped from the store, that would be hard to do. I prefer whipping my own, it's cheaper and not that hard to do, plus I have more control. Anyway, I love this dessert. Thanks for posting the recipe.

In response to using a pan: you should use a cookie sheet, the pavlova is free standing as it bakes, hence drawing a 9" circle on parchment. You can also sprinkle cold water on a cookie sheet and pile the egg white mix and form into a 9" round... then bake at 300 f for 1 hour and continue as per instructions. I think the unsweetened cream is a must or very lightly sweetened or just add some pure vanilla extract about 1/2 tsp. Mmmm so delicious. I am actually presently baking 2 in the oven, but used the more simple recipe that gets lower ratings, but am baking it at 300 f. I used 5 egg whites to serve 12.
