Don’t add whipped cream and fruit until you’re ready to serve.
If you have leftovers, pack the whole thing up in a tupperware and break up the large chunks of meringue. The next day you’ll have icebox cake.
Do you have any favorite pavlova combinations? Any meringue questions left unanswered? Let loose in the comments. Form a shallow crater in the center of the meringue when you put it on the baking sheet. It’ll puff up a little during baking, and the dip with higher sides will form a better cradle for your fruit.
Leave a couple inches breathing room on all sides of your pavlova for expansion in the oven. What do New Zealand wines taste like? For me, the common thread is a sense of freshness, whether you’re drinking a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a powerful Cabernet Sauvignon blend. Most of the vineyards are never too far from the cooling effect of the ocean, preserving acidity in the wines—this brightness leaves you ready for more after each sip.
