About Pavlova
Pavlova is a meringue dessert with a crisp outer shell and a soft, marshmallow-like center, topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit like kiwi, strawberries and passion fruit.
It is named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, who toured New Zealand and Australia in the 1920s. Both countries claim to have created it, and the debate continues.
Pavlova is a popular dessert at Christmas, which falls in summer in New Zealand and Australia.
