Treat your ingredients with care...

• Eggs — Ensure that the eggs are at room temperature before separating them for better volume when beating the egg whites.
• Heavy cream — Chill the cream and the mixing bowl in the refrigerator before whipping to achieve a better consistency.
• Mixed berries — Rinse the berries gently and pat them dry before using to remove any excess moisture.

Tips & Tricks

• To add a twist, try adding a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of crushed nuts on top of the pavlova.
• If you prefer a sweeter pavlova, you can increase the amount of powdered sugar used for dusting.
• Make sure to cool the pavlova completely before adding the whipped cream and toppings to prevent them from melting.

Serving advice

Serve the pavlova immediately after assembling to enjoy the contrast between the crisp meringue, creamy whipped cream, and juicy berries.

Presentation advice

For a fast food presentation, serve the pavlova on a disposable plate or in a paper cup. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a small edible flower for an extra touch.
