Spring fruit pavlovas are amazing this time of year. With large varieties of fresh fruit popping up in the market, these crispy, airy little nests are the perfect canvas to show off the season’s bounty.
Pavlovas are incredibly simple to make and only take a few ingredients, which is why it’s important to use the best ingredients possible. Fresh eggs and high quality sugar the key to a perfect pavlova.
Easy Pavlova Recipe
I topped these mini Pavlovas with sweetened whipped cream and a variety of fresh fruit such as blackberries, kiwi and strawberries. Use whatever fruits you’d like to top these lovely little nests. The possibilities are endless, and this is another reason why I love making pavlovas.
You can reuse the same recipe and just top it differently for Easter, the 4th of July, Halloween, and even Christmas. Just switch up the fruit with seasonal ones and you’re golden.
