Easy Holiday Dessert Recipe
Don’t these Mini Pavlovas just scream Christmas? The colors, the beauty, the little powdered sugar “snow”. I’m obsessed. I love the combination of flavors and textures, and (BONUS) they aren’t all that bad for you. The bottom layer is made of meringue (egg whites), the middle from freshly whipped cream (Mom makes me use fresh whipped cream…and I have to say…she’s right), and on top is fresh fruit. I mean, this is kinda diet food…right? At least for holiday recipe standards.
How to Make Mini Pavlovas
There are essentially four parts to this mini pavlova recipe: the meringue “bowls”, the whipped cream filling, the fresh berries, and the sauce. The meringue is the most intricate part, while the other three parts mostly just require mixing ingredients together. To make the Meringue: Once each part has been made, you’ll assemble the mini pavlovas. Fill each meringue bowl with the whipped cream filling, spoon on the fruit, and then drizzle the sauce over top. Add fresh mint and sprinkle with powdered sugar to finish them off, and then serve immediately. Check the recipe card below for detailed instructions.
Can you make Pavlova ahead of time?
This recipe definitely takes some time, but you can make the meringue bases ahead of time and freeze them until ready to create your Mini Pavlovas. You won’t want to put them together until right before serving, to make sure your egg white meringues stay crisp, but it’s a great way to cut time and think ahead. I love recipes like that! These are just too perfect, don’t you agree?
