Delicious and easy to make
Janet Shelton
I had never made meringue, before, but this recipe is wonderful!! I baked it in a pan that was too small, though, so my meringue was a little bit gooey. (But it still tasted yummy. )
Kenneth Bell
I have made this MANY times – it’s always a winner! I usually do fresh berries, sometimes with the kiwi and sometimes without kiwi. It’s the perfect gluten free dessert.
Kyle Evans
The temp is too high. They burn in my oven. I’ve always baked at 275
Erica Dunn
I’ve saved this recipe for a while now, the local bakery sells mini pavlovas for $12 a piece and figured, I can make this! And omg… I did. And it was so easy and so heavenly, so light, so soft, mm so good! My kids love it because Bluey loves it
Adam Welch
I would recommend letting the meringue in the oven to cool because when I took mine out it deflated and caved in, but otherwise, it was GREAT!

I first had Pavlova at a friend’s birthday dinner. Wow! Now that I’ve used this recipe at home, it’s become my standard dessert for impressing my dinner guests. And when I offer to make dessert for a dinner party, they always ask for Pavlova. This is easy, delicious, and popular. I left my meringue in the oven to cool off. As it was a foggy day, I wanted to ensure the meringue would not fall. So leaving it in the oven was the perfect solution to keep it from being affected by the weather. When I assembled it, the meringue was perfectly crispy.

I enjoyed making this pavlova with help from my nieces we had great fun folding in the sugar carefully. Lovely end result.
Michelle Barton
I did pre-mix the cornstarch, vanilla, and lemon juice ahead of adding it to the egg whites and sugar. It cracked but who cares! Yum! I added vanilla and sugar to my whipped cream and it still wasn’t too sweet.

I have used this recipe so many times! Everyone loves them so much and they are so versatile and work great for any occasion. I also like to leave the meringue with oven off but cooling after baking so they can dry further and become fully melt in your mouth! I made them into a tree for a Christmas party and everyone ate it within seconds.

Easy indeed

Make six smaller pavlovas. Next time try 8-10 for small individual servings. The six werevookedat50 minutes. Will decrease sugar by 1/4c or more next time. I used it with strawberry’s and strawberry sauce by Chef John so did not sweeten the whipped cream
Kendra Weeks
I had to make this more than once before I got it quite right, but it is worth it. I just added 0.5tsp baking powder, it doesn’t change the taste, but it gives a much firmer structure which is lovely. Practice it a couple of times, don’t expect to get it perfect on the first attempt.
Mary Griffin
So easy and delicious. Always use vinegar, the lemon juice makes a slight difference. Very good.
Ryan Serrano
Very easy to make and delicious! I left mine in the oven overnight to cook and the crust was a little chewy, might have been too long?
Matthew Burke
I come from Scotland and always find that Pavlova Made when it is windy does not rise. The elevation is some 5000 feet. This Pavlova had NO problem making, cooking, whipping, topping with strawberries and of course, eating with great enjoyment. The recipe states for 8 but with 7 persons you will get a wee second helping. Simple to create and looks fantastic is always a hit (except if you’re cutting out sugar!
Karen Walton
I have been making Pavlova for year got the recipe from a Australian. I did not use parchment paper just wet the plate down with cold water and piled on the pavlova. You serve it on this plate. Recipe was the same. Thanks.
Debra Arroyo
Pavlova takes patience but it’s so worth it! Such a unique and impressive dessert.
Dominique Stewart
It Cracked Beautifully, tasted crunchy on the outside and marshmallow on the inside. I added a little lemon juice to the meringue just to accent the egg whites, but other than that I didn’t need to change anything.
John Copeland
I, like others thought it was too sweet and I cut the sugar to one cup. My husband has pre diabetes and wouldn’t touch it. It also fell in the middle. I am going to make it again and this time try Splenda so my husband can try it and use 5 eggs so it is a little thicker in the middle. We shall see!! It was easy to make!
