      Yes! Lots of fruit and use a few different types, often strawberries, kiwi fruit, banana, passion fruit all together ... and you can choose how sweet to make the whipped cream that goes with it.

  • @northwest1760

    A couple of tips, they weren’t whipped long enough. You’re looking for stiff peaks. Also, don’t top them with regular sweetened whipped cream. VERY low sugar whipped cream balances it out. Just enough sugar to enhance the creaminess which is a surprisingly small amount. Personally, I like mine a little browned but that’s more of a personal preference, I think. Lastly, if you don’t like merengue, there’s no way you’re going to like Pavlovas given that they are just topped merengue.

      @@butasimpleidiotwizard no, not necessarily. I see a lot of people repeating that in the comments as if it’s absolutely traditional not to. I suspect there’s just a lot of repeating going on and most people haven’t actually baked one. Although some bakers choose not to most do, in my opinion, not adding absolutely any is a mistake. I put a very, very small amount. As I said, just enough to bring out the flavors on the cream. Without it the cream’s flavors get completely lost. A lot of bakers make it that way and no, it doesn’t break tradition. People don’t realize it has sugar in it because it’s practically indiscernible, at least it should be.

    Whipped cream should be unsweetened. Pavlova has vanilla extract in it. They usually have passionfruit pulp drizzled on and kiwi fruit slices for extra tartness. You can also add a touch of strawberry oil to the strawberries for added flavour.

    As an Aussie, a simple pavlova (we call it pav) is plain white meringue that is as large as a regular round cake size with whipped cream on top (proper cream, not the kind you spray out of a can). The cream is placed onto the meringue base, and then it is topped with berries and passion fruit. It is a STAPLE for Aussie Christmas ❤

    The texture of a pavlova is very different to a meringue. A meringue is mostly crunchy as they’re smaller and normally done in the ‘birds nest’ style like you did. A true pav is a single cake sized dessert and is slightly crunchy on the outside, but like a dissolving marshmallow on the inside. It’s perfect with whipped cream (not the stuff from a can) and fresh summer fruit.

    To make a pavlova, you need to cook the entire thing as one shape. It's supposed to be very big. That's how it can get soft in the middle. My mum always turns the oven off after cooking and leaves the pav in there until the oven has completely cooled. That's how to prevent the outer crust from caving in.

    If you make it as a single large pav it makes a very soft, pillowy texture with a crunchy outside. They are always very sweet and dont have much actual flavour. Topped with unsweetened whipped cream and tart fruit like strawberries, citrus fruits or kiwi fruit it is great. My personal favourite topping is chocolate sauce and strawberries. Or strawberry sauce is good too. Essentially the real flavour comes from what you put with it rather than the pav itself.

    I think you're supposed to usually add vanilla in it to give it flavour and get rid of the eggy taste and you can decrease the amount of sugar if needed but it's usually supposed to be topped with fruits to balance it out

      Yes and the vanilla is added to the cream (called chantilly cream) and no sugar. The fruit should balance the sweetness. Passion fruit is often used with the other fruits because of the tang which helps with the sweetness of the Pavlova.

    the more traditional way of making a pavlova (coming from an Aussie) is to make it not in small servings, but in a large cake. also make sure to add whipped cream and LOTS of different fruit that taste well together. but that’s just what I think, and the person reading this may like it a different way, but always have it with fruit and whipped cream. it’s just essential!!

    Hey 👋 I’m a kiwi (New Zealander) typically we add fresh fruit to the side like passionfruit, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi berries, whipped cream and maybe a little bit of mint if you’re feeling fancy hope this helps
    Edit: when I make pavlova I add a little bit of vinegar
    So a pavlova with 6 egg whites and a cup and a half of caster sugar gets a tablespoon of vinegar it just helps cut through the sweetness it sounds weird but you don’t even taste it hope you find this useful ☺️

    As a person that comes from Australia Pavlova bases do tend to be quite sweet when buying them from the store but if I was too make one I'd definitely dile the sugar down a bit. The cream on top is not meant to be very sweet at all tho to contrast with the merange base, as well as the fruit giving it a bit of freshness to it. I usually just eat all the cream and fruit lol
