Pavlova with Fresh Summer Fruit


With an abundance of summer fruit available, 
I find my kitchen counter constantly loaded with 
all the tempting summer fruits the markets have to offer. 

Honestly, who can resist a perfectly ripened, juicy, sweet peach or nectarine. 
Doesn't a large bowl of fresh berries looking so inviting to 
scoop on top of yogurt, ice cream, cereal, or a fantastic summer dessert!

A pavlova, similar to a meringue, is the perfect edible base. The pavlova, 
although, has a creamy marshmallow like center with a crisp,
sugary light outside that melts in your mouth. 
Pile that high with a  mound of fluffy whip cream and 
juicy ripe summer fruits, and you have a mouth watering dessert!

The pavlova can be prepared 3-5 days ahead of serving and kept in an 
airtight container.  Fresh fruit can be sliced and combined
with a bit of sugar and lemon juice a few hours before serving, 
and left in the refrigerator to macerate. 
The whip cream can also be prepared in a pre-chilled bowl, 
covered and tucked back into the refrigerator, so it is ready 
when the dish is assembled just before serving!

As Always, 
ENJOY!
