Not too long ago, there was a potluck at work. I signed up for dessert immediately, but then realized a challenge. There are people on staff with dairy, gluten, and nut sensitivities. I obviously wanted everyone to be able to enjoy the dessert so I set out to find something that was gluten, dairy, and nut free.
While recipes exist that are completely allergen free, it can be a challenge. Especially so since I did not want to have to buy any specialty ingredients for this one.
Finally, I decided to make pavlova which are basically just egg whites and sugar (thankfully no egg allergies!)
These were a huge hit at the potluck! Granted, I cooked them just a hair too long…so fun fact…. if you cook these too long the center becomes hollow instead of marshmallow-like and turn into merengues. Mine were about half way between. There was a marshmallow-like layer, but a hollow bit at the top. Nonetheless, they were delicious and not bad at all for a first try!
I don’t have the actual recipe to share here because I used the recipe exactly from here and it was great!

So elegant...I'm sure all the others were pleased. Happy Mom's Day Amy.
ReplyDeleteIt's been ages since I've had a pavlova. And have not tried making it in my kitchen. Such a delicious treat for all. Have a wonderful Mother's Day
ReplyDeleteI love making pavlova, but it's hit and miss for me. I need to troubleshoot why sometimes they stay white (what I want) and sometimes they brown. No clue why!
