Our pavlova needed to quickly replace a Christmas day pavlova that was accidentally destroyed. We hopped online to find directions that used only ingredients we had around the house. This one fit the bill. Our first attempt at the humble pavlova (a New Zealand tradition), it turned out really well and was delicious. With helpful suggestions from friends, the key to the pavlova is adding the sugar in bit by bit, not disturbing it once it is in the oven and of course decorating it later with fresh whipped cream, strawberries and kiwifruit. Thanks for saving Christmas!

Though Pavlova is not meant to be individual sizes, my son (he's a chef) used this recipe at Thanksgiving and made individual sizes with whipped cream, fresh blueberries, blackberries and raspberries and a dash of raspberry sauce drizzled on top (wish I had a picture to share). Huge hit and so light after such a big meal. By the way, New Zealand is the real originator of this dessert, no matter what the other countries claim! : )

I'm not sure if I made this dessert correctly, but never having it before I found it delicious and fascinating. I was a little scared of the multiple textures at first, but was able to salvage a good half of my creation to serve. I made it without super fine sugar because I didn't have any, which may have contributed to it being ultra-sweet. I'd love to try this made by someone who does it all the time.
