Notes

Love pavlovas. They are favourites at parties and usually go first. Make sure you put separated whites and eggs in separate cups so you don't get any yoke in the egg whites or the whites won't set. You can add food colouring to change the colour of the base if you want.

  • I love pavlova. My nan used to make me one every year for my birthday and it was so delicious. Mine have never tasted as good. I’ll give this recipe a go :)

  • Sounds easy – my recipe uses a teaspoon of cornflour added to the mix.

  • I have never made a pavlova. Always the ready made. Will have to try this and hope for success.


    • Ready made pavlova has a taste that cannot be compared – always best eaten quickly!

  • I also find that a super clean bowl is important in making sure the meringue is nice and peaky!

  • Would love to know how to make one without cracking


    • Turn the oven temp down just a little. About 1/4 teaspoon of white vinegar and vanilla can also help make a wonderful crispy pavlova with a wonderful marshmallow middle.
