The ultimate spring classic – shortcrust pastry topped with rhubarb and meringue. This version features a vibrant rhubarb filling enriched with raspberries and a hint of orange zest, crowned with a tall, fluffy meringue that bakes into a beautifully crisp shell.
An utterly irresistible meringue roulade filled with mascarpone cream and rhubarb. Pink rhubarb looks particularly beautiful in this dessert, but if you don’t have access to it, simply use the red parts of regular rhubarb stalks and save the greener sections
Red Velvet macarons were inspired by the famous American Red Velvet Cake. Of course, they must be a deep red colour and filled with a lightly salted Philadelphia cream cheese frosting. Delicious!
Continuing with the theme of chocolate and orange cakes, today I have a new chocolate meringue cake with hazelnuts and oranges. This chocolate and hazelnut meringue cake with oranges is absolutely wonderful! Intensely crisp, irresistible from the very
Another delicious way to use up leftover festive chocolates. This Coconut Pavlova combines a crisp white meringue with coconut cream, mango sauce and jewel-like pomegranate seeds. It’s a wonderfully tropical combination – light, refreshing
A double chocolate Pavlova means double the joy :). This smaller Pavlova is made with just four egg whites and features a crisp shell with a soft, marshmallow-like centre. It’s topped with Nutella cream, drizzled with chocolate sauce and finished with Maltesers.
A pistachio Pavlova simply had to happen, and the idea suggested by one of my readers sounded absolutely wonderful :). Probably the most challenging part is blending the pistachios into smooth pistachio butter — after that, the rest is already familiar territory:
Once, at the beginning of my baking journey, someone more experienced told me that Pavlova is not a “fruit salad” — you should stick to one type of fruit. Oh, how wrong they were. Or perhaps Pavlova has simply evolved so much that no combination surprises anyone anymore?
Toffee Pavlova with cinnamon and figs. By using a mix of brown sugar and white sugar (half and half), the meringue takes on a beautiful toffee-like flavour :). This recipe caught my attention because of its unusual method – completely different from how I used to make Pavlova.
After rose ice cream, a rose Pavlova simply had to follow. For now, it’s paired with strawberries and pistachios, but later in the summer it’s just as delicious with raspberries. This rose Pavlova with strawberries is truly hard to beat :). If you enjoy floral flavours, be
Such a specific flavour combination – and probably my favourite when it comes to Pavlova: beautifully sweet and tangy :). This Pavlova with gooseberries and kiwi even beats the classic version with lemon curd, and it’s simply not to be missed during gooseberry season!
Amaretti are sweet almond cookies – or more precisely, small almond macaroons. Their homeland is Italy. They’re made from whipped egg whites and ground almonds, without any flour, and flavoured with amaretto liqueur, which gives them their distinctive aroma.
A true Christmas showstopper! I fell in love after the very first bite. A deliciously crisp-on-the-outside, marshmallow-soft Pavlova layered with a creamy filling enriched with marsala or amaretto, coffee-soaked sponge biscuits and finished with a dusting of cocoa. Elegant
A seasonal twist on pavlova – crisp on the outside, marshmallow-soft inside, topped with whipped cream, roasted rhubarb, and crunchy pistachios. You can make one large dessert, but mini portions look especially charming. The rhubarb is roasted
A beautifully seasonal meringue topped with blueberries – a true taste of summer. This recipe uses a slightly different method for making the meringue, which gives it a wonderfully crisp exterior and marshmallow-soft centre. The yoghurt cream is a lovely twist
A meringue whose ingredients might surprise you! To a meringue we add chopped pecan nuts and… crushed salty crackers (Ritz). This meringue is not overly sweet, thanks to the saltiness of the crackers. The crackers soften during baking, so to add a bit of crunch
A delicious gooseberry cake with a delicate hint of coconut. It is made with a buttery sponge base, topped with gooseberry custard (I used red gooseberries, though green ones work just as well), a light cream layer and a soft coconut meringue. The meringue is not crisp
Delicious, shortbread cookies with a double dose of walnuts. These treats combine a delicate buttery shortbread cookies, a cloud-like walnut meringue and a crunchy walnut half on top. They’re so charming they disappear in no time ;). Beautiful and impressive
