FAQ's About this recipe
How to make pavlova?
Whip egg whites with caster sugar until you get stiff, glossy peaks. Bake low and slowly to build a crisp meringue shell with a soft, pillowy centre. Making pavlova at home can be rewarding but tricky and time-consuming because of humidity, oven temperature and timing.
If you’d rather save time and skip ahead to the fun of entertaining, LaManna’s mini pavlovas or ‘pavlova cookies’ from our patisserie are baked fresh on the day and ready to go when you are. Use them as your base and focus your creativity on mixing and matching different pavlova toppings. That’s where the real fun is!
Can I make the pavlova grazing board ahead of time?
You can prepare the fruit and cream ahead of time, but assemble the board just before serving so the pavlovas stay crisp.
What other fruits work well on a grazing board?
Cherries, grapes, peaches, figs, or any seasonal fruit all work beautifully. Add a mix for colour and texture.
Can I use a different topping instead of pistachios?
Yes, try toasted almonds, macadamias, coconut flakes, or chocolate shavings.
How do I keep pavlovas from becoming soggy?
Keep the cream separate until serving. Only top or scoop cream onto pavlovas when guests are ready to eat.
