How do you make pavlova?

The meringue shell is made by beating egg whites until stiff peaks form and gradually adding sugar to create a glossy and stable mixture. Other ingredients such as vinegar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract are often added to achieve a crisp exterior and a chewy interior.

You don’t need many kitchen tools. Mixer is the only thing that you need to get the stiff peaks.

Pavlova dessert is known for its extraordinary presentation and is often served on special occasions such as baby showers, birthday parties, weddings, or Christmas. Combining the sweet meringue, creamy Chantilly Cream, and delicious tangy fruits creates a perfect contrast of textures and flavors.

How long can you keep pavlova?

I usually keep the baked Pavlova shell in a fridge and serve it the next day.

But, you can also store the pavlova in a cool and dry environment, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and excessive humidity. 

Quick tips on making pavlova

Overall, it is an easy dessert. The most important things are eggs and oven temperature. Let’s take a closer look at them.

Eggs

It is better to use eggs at room temperature, if you have eggs in the fridge, take them out, and carefully divide egg whites from yolks. Leave the egg whites in a bowl for 10 minutes. And right after, you can start making pavlova dessert.

Note: You can use egg yolks for making my Hollandaise sauce.

Serve it with Eggs Benedict for making breakfast extra special!

Temperature

To measure the exact oven temperature, you need to have a thermometer built into your oven. Heat the oven to 300°F (150°C), and before baking Pavlova you need to reduce the temperature to 250°F (120°C).

Experience the perfect harmony of sweet, tangy, and refreshing flavors in every bite of this summer Blueberry Pavlova.
