Experience this summer Cherry Pavlova recipe that combines a delicate meringue with chantilly cream and juicy cherries.
My new Pavlova features summer cherries! So refreshing, juicy, and yummy! 😉
Every bite gives you a fantastic summer feel. If you want a classy version of this dessert, try my Strawberry Blackberry Pavlova first.
Sweet Cherries: Sweet cherries are usually available from late spring to early summer, with the peak season in June and July in many regions worldwide.
Sour Cherries: Sour cherries are often used for baking and making jams and compotes. They have a shorter season and are available for a few weeks in early June. You can make many delicious recipes with them.
In this Cherry Pavlova recipe, I use mildly sweet cherries, which perfectly balance the sweet meringue. If you want – you can also shave some chocolate on top.
The meringue shell is made by beating egg whites until stiff peaks form and gradually adding sugar to create a glossy and stable mixture.
Other ingredients such as vinegar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract are often added to achieve a crisp exterior and a chewy interior.
Pavlova dessert is known for its extraordinary presentation and is often served on special occasions such as baby showers, birthday parties, weddings, or Christmas.
Combining the sweet meringue, creamy Chantilly Cream, and delicious tangy fruits creates a perfect contrast of textures and flavors.
I usually keep the baked Pavlova shell in a fridge and serve it the next day.
But, you can also store the pavlova in a cool and dry environment, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and excessive humidity.
Overall, it is an easy dessert. The most important ingredients are eggs, sugar, and oven temperature. Let’s take a closer look at them one by one.
It is better to use eggs at room temperature, if you have eggs in the fridge, take them out, and carefully divide egg whites from yolks. Leave the egg whites in a bowl for 10 minutes. And then you can start making pavlova.
Note: You can use egg yolks for making my Hollandaise sauce. Serve it with Eggs Benedict for making breakfast extra special!
To measure the exact oven temperature, you need to have a thermometer built into your oven. Heat the oven to 300°F (150°C), and before baking Pavlova reduces the temperature to 250°F (120°C).
Experience the perfect harmony of sweet, tangy, and refreshing flavors in every bite of this fancy Cherry Pavlova.
