Pavlova with Passionfruit or Kiwifruit

Australia · Oceania

Short description: This dessert contrasts a fragile meringue shell with a soft center, cool cream, and tart fruit.
Ingredients: Egg-white meringue is baked crisp outside and soft inside, then topped with cream, kiwifruit, passionfruit, and berries.
Cultural note: Its origin is famously argued, but it remains tied to summer meals, holidays, and family tables where fruit and cream balance sweet meringue.
Common misconception: It is not just a hard meringue; the center should stay soft and marshmallow-like.
