Recipe Description

I am so happy to bring this Strawberry Pavlova recipe to you today because Pavlova is my number one favorite dessert to both make and eat. I love to make a crunchy sweet meringue base and pile it high with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. It’s a dessert which just screams summer to me.

Start by making the Pavlova meringue base. This takes one hour to cook and then you have to wait until it cools down completely in the oven which can take another couple of hours. Make a strawberry sauce by combining strawberries, redcurrants and sugar and whizzing it until smooth. Beat cream with sugar to make the topping for the Pavlova. Spread the cream over the cooled meringue and add chopped strawberries and redcurrants. Drizzle sauce over the top and enjoy!

To make Strawberry Pavlova, you will need the following ingredients:
