Dish
Pavlova
Pavlova is made with egg whites, sugar, and cornstarch. The meringue is baked in the oven until it is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is then topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit, such as strawberries, kiwi, and passionfruit. This dessert is perfect for those who want a light and refreshing dessert that is not too sweet.
Origins and history
Pavlova is believed to have originated in either Australia or New Zealand in the 1920s. It was created in honor of Anna Pavlova, who was touring in the region at the time. The dessert is now popular throughout the world and is often served during the summer months.
