Pavlova, Tropical Pavlova


En Español

Have you ever had the opportunity of enjoying a pavlova? What do you like the most of it? Last week I made personal size tropical pavlovas, topped with pineapple, papaya, melon, and sprinkled with coconut flakes. These fruits are easily found in the Dominican Republic, and since I already had them at home, I was glad to have found the perfect luxuriating way of eating these fruits. What I like the most is the combination of the cream and crispiness of the meringue... totally scrumptious and worth trying!

Pavlova originated in New Zealand and is consumed in both, Australia and its home country. It consists of a bowl shaped and cake like French meringue, that after it's baked is filled with whipped cream or creme fraiche and topped with soft fruits.


Did you know? This dessert was named in honor of the Russian ballerina, Anna Pavlova, during her New Zealand tour in 1926.
