Pavlova

This favorite dessert of Australia was named after Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova by a chef who wanted to create something “as light and ethereal as the dancer herself.” He achieved his goal with this meringue crust topped with whipped cream and an assortment of fresh fruit. This recipe was given to me by my ex-brother-in-law, Clayton, and it was one of the first desserts I actually enjoyed after my diagnosis.
