      Experience this exquisite Tropical Fruits Pavlova recipe that combines a delicate meringue with Chantilly cream and tropical fruits.

      My new Pavlova features three tropical fruits such as dragon fruit or pitaya, mango, and passion fruit. So refreshing and yummy! 😉

      Every bite will transfer your mouth to the tropical island. If you want a classy version of this dessert, try my Strawberry Blackberry Pavlova.

      Why Use Tropical Fruits?

      Dragon fruit has a unique taste subtly sweet and refreshingly mild. For me personally, it is close to a kiwifruit. The vibrant pink or white flesh of the dragon fruit makes it not only a delight to the tongue but also to the eyes. Have you heard the expression we eat with our eyes?

      Passion fruit has a strong tropical and tangy flavor. The color of passion fruit is yellow or purple inside and filled with black seeds. The seeds have a delightful crunch that you can add to desserts, drinks, or topping desserts.

      Mango has a luscious and tropical flavor. Mango is incredibly juicy and tender, with a smooth and creamy texture that melts in the mouth. It compliments this Tropical Fruits Pavlova.

      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.

      Baked Pavlova shell

      Pavlova dessert is known for its extraordinary presentation and is often served on special occasions such as baby showers, birthday parties, or Christmas. The combination of 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, sugar, and oven temperature. Let’s take a closer look at them one by one.

      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 then you can start making pavlova.

      Note: You can use egg yolks for making my Hollandaise sauce. Serve it with Eggs Benedict if you want to make your breakfast extra special!

      How To Choose The Right 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 reduces the temperature to 250°F (120°C).

      Experience the perfect harmony of sweet, tangy, and refreshing flavors in every bite of this fancy Tropical Fruits Pavlova.
