Are the kings of a faraway country coming to your house for lunch? Are you looking for recipes to present for an empress’s wedding Menu?

Surely the answer is no, but this is how you will feel cooking this majestic and simple dessert that has its origins in Australia and New Zealand.

The name of this dessert is in honor of the Russian dancer of the beginning of the 20th century, Anna Pavlovna Pavlova.

It is made with a base of chocolate meringue, which we have topped with a mixture of cream cheese and powdered sugar, and crowned with red fruits, dark chocolate and toasted almonds. 

Are you coming to the banquet?

Ingredients

Pavlova

  • 3 large egg whites
  • ¾ cups caster sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • â…“ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups berries
  • 6 tablespoons dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons toasted almonds, crushed

Directions

Pavlovas

  1. Preheat oven to 325F.
  2. Cover a baking tray with parchment paper.
  3. Place the egg whites and the vinegar in the large bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk for 4-5 minutes over low speed, until soft peaks are formed. Increase speed to medium and slowly add sugar, and salt. Whisk for 2 more minutes until strong peaks are formed.
  4. Gently fold in cocoa powder.
  5. Set aside.
  6. Spoon the meringue over the parchment paper. Bake for 50 minutes at 300F.
  7. Once cooked, turn off the oven and leave the door slightly open, to slowly cool it down.

Topping

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together cream cheese with powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
    Serve pavlovas topped with the cheese mixture and topped with berries, chopped dark chocolate, and crushed toasted almonds.
