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).
