Pavlova is probably one of the most favorite desserts ever. Don’t you agree?
I’ve made over two dozen Pavlovas so far, each time being impressed with different shaping variations. 😍
But don’t worry if you feel you would be struggling with shaping. First, it’s not as complicated as it seems. Second, I have a fuss-free Pavlova recipe with no shaping required!! 🙌
Pavlova Cake is a classic dessert originating in Australia or New Zealand. It was named after the famous Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. I often call my Pavlova cake Mrs. Pavlova. Yes, Anna Pavlova was secretly married to her manager, Victor Dandré. 🤪
Here are 10 Tips for Making the Perfect Meringue:
Use Fresh Egg Whites: Opt for fresh egg whites for the best results.
Room Temperature Egg Whites: Use room-temperature egg whites for a lighter yield and better stabilization.
Avoid Any Egg Yolks: When separating the egg whites, make sure no trace of egg yolk is present. Even a small amount of egg yolk can introduce fat into the mixture, hindering the meringue's ability to form stiff peaks.
Use a Grease-Free Bowl: Ensure your bowl is completely grease-free; consider wiping it with a little lemon juice before use.
Slowly Add Sugar: Gradually add sugar while beating to achieve the desired consistency.
Beat Until Stiff Peaks Form: Keep beating the mixture until stiff peaks form for the ideal texture.
Pinch of Salt: Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor and stability of the meringue.
Start Slowly: Start whipping the whites slowly for small and stable bubbles.
Gradually Increase Speed: Slowly increase the whipping speed to avoid overmixing and maintain stability.
Use The Meringue Immediately for the best results.
