My all time favorate dessert will have to be Napolian Cake reminds me of childhood. If there is just a trace of egg yolk in the mixture, it will not thicken. For the sticking issue, do you make sure to cook it on parchment paper and NOT WAX Paper? Thanks. This cake is by far my favorite! Thanks so much for your advice.
That should help.
I am right now in the middle of cooking Natasha’s Very Berry Pavlova and I am a little annoyed that I misread the 250 deg F and put the oven onto 250 degrees as I have a gas oven.
Whip the cream with vanilla till it hold soft peaks. This looks delicious!!
I haven’t tested it that way but those are my thoughts on it anyway , Natasha….i cant make a toping for my pavlova. She introduced us to pavlovas during one of their visits to the States. https://www.annabel-langbein.com/recipes/fantasy-pavlova/62 I am following the directions..
If you forget this step, place un-cracked eggs in warm water for 15 minutes to bring them to room temp.
Transfer immediately to a large sheet of parchment paper and use spatula to form a 10" round ring, making a deep indent in the center to accommodate the cream and berries later.
https://twitter.com/raggammuffin/status/511963740989038592, my favorite dessert is german chocolate cake, https://natashaskitchen.com/2014/08/19/very-berry-pavlova-recipe-and-giveaway/, I absolutely love molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Are you using a high powered stand mixer on high speed to whip your egg whites and sugar?
You can make it 2 days ahead if you wish but it will be ready once it is at room temp . I’ve always wanted to try pavlova. Was looking for a great Pavlova recipe. Bake at 250˚F for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Its so simple to make and delicious .
Place into the preheated oven on the middle shelf and immediately turn the temperature down to 120°C.
what do I do?! Thanks. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Yes I made this with egg whites only and if you follow the recipe it will be brilliant. How many persons does this Pavlova feed? Using the whisk attachment on your stand mixer, beat 6 egg whites … The mini pavlovas work better as a make-ahead dessert to feed a crowd; you can make the meringues up to 3 days ahead of time and store loosely wrapped in a plastic bag then frost and assemble just before your event.
That is a major bummer!
Yours is absolutely gorgeous! Sorry I can’t be more helpful, but you will have to experiment.
I love Pavlova and but I also dislike how sweet it can often be.
I followed your recipe except I used vinegar instead of lemon juice because I remember my mother using vinegar when she made pavlova 40 years ago.
Hi, if I double the recipe, what is the baking time then?? my pavlova stuck to the parchment paper and fell in the center any idea why. That reduces the sweetness substantially without affecting the meringue. Using the whisk attachment on your stand mixer, beat 6 egg whites and 1 1/2 cups sugar for 6 to 7 minutes on high speed, or until stiff peaks form.
It didn’t work for me to just beat sugar and egg whites together without first beating just the egg whites until stiff and then slowly adding the sugar.
My favorite dessert is chocolate Prague cake.

May i reduce sugar? I tweeted again–because, apparently, I didn’t include the hashtag the first time. Meringue is neither complicated or time consuming. It’s best if used the same day it is made because of the soft center. My all time favorite dessert is the vaccine dolce, which looks similar to this so I’m sure it’s delicious! Because my mixture would not thicken I even added more sugar and nothing worked. I have many favorite desserts but I’m currently all about homemade ice cream!
I am always happy to help troubleshoot. My fave dessert is pineapple upside down cake!! Then turn off the oven and with door closed, let it sit inside the oven another 1 hour until cooled.
**Tip 2: Keep berries dry and chilled prior to use.
We are so happy you're here.
my favorite is chocolate cherry brownies. Beat till the sugar is …
I wish I could claim it to be something I make at home, but it’s just SO GOOD!
Do you beat the eggs and then add the sugar? Hi Angie, I recall replying to that question but just in case, I do bake on the bake oven setting.
Hi Sue!
Bake for 1 ½ hours and then turn the oven off and allow the meringue to cool thoroughly before removing. Up to 1 hour before serving fill the Pavlova with whipped cream and sprinkle with pomegranate arils.
Hi Hanit, If you are planning to make 1 really large pavlova, I can’t really say without testing it that way myself. Gradually add the sugar in two or three steps while continuing to beat.
When I read the recipe I wondered about the instructions re meringue.
(note: you can make cream ahead of time, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use). Thank you so much for sharing that with us Kegan!
This pavlova has less sugar in it than others and the sugar is folded in not beaten given a rather denser marshmallowy centre and chewier crust.
How long should I beat the egg whites? If you want to surprise your spouse and make dessert extra special, you should try this loaded berry pavlova. fav dessert is banana bread or honey cake! Love your blog! Can you use wax paper instead of parchment? I’d be concerned about making pavlova on a convection setting because the center needs to form as well as the outside so quick baking might not be ideal.
My pavlova is in the oven now.. so if I will be assembling it tomorrow I just leave it out without wrapping with plastic wrap or anything? Thank you in advance! My favorite dessert to make is rainbow cake! *Tip 1: Pavlova eggs will beat best when they are at room temperature. Hi Hilda, are you certain you used parchment paper rather than wax paper? So simple yet so delicious because you can make different kinds! Probably too late for a reply but a convection oven (one with a fan to evenly distribute heat) is always 25F hotter than the temperature stated on the oven. Transfer immediately to a large sheet of parchment paper and use spatula to form a 10″ round ring, making a deep indent in the center to accommodate the cream and berries later. It is dry after baking and ready. I make it for every occasion/birthday in my family!
Meringue is neither complicated or time consuming. it look so fancy but easy to make. Hi! Mine just isn’t as fluffy as yours. I love so many!
Gradually add the sugar in two or three steps while continuing to beat. I can’t stress enough how easy and delicious it is.
A sweet end to a sweet day! I hope you love this easy and wonderful Berry Pavlova Recipe!! What kind of mixer were you using and what setting was it on? Cant wait to try your Pavlova, looks amazing! Refrigerate leftovers.
.
Use a slow speed to incorporate the ingredients together. We didn’t go out of town to celebrate but we did go out to our favorite fancy restaurant and then shared dessert at home.
Hi Vika, no you don’t have to. Thank you. Also, making it as a Father’s Day dessert for my hubby with high cholesterol so I want to skip the cream topping. 2.
Hi Inna, if it’s liquid when you put it on the pan, that means you aren’t whipping your mixture long enough. Add 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract and 2 tsp corn starch and continue mixing another 15 seconds or until well blended. Make sure they are at room temperature or it will take longer to beat. The mixture will be smooth and glossy. Read my disclosure policy. It would be a kindness to at least put the other types of oven temperatures to match. Can you tell me the serving size for your recipe? Hi Billie, are you beating for the recommended time with a high powered mixer? Gotta love chocolate!!
If you have another dessert, this will do for that many people (depending on how big you slice it). I have made your recipe for pavlova 2 times and both times they turned out perfect! I make the bases of my mini pavlovas a couple of days ahead but this larger cake is best enjoyed the same day. Thanks. If my oven has a choice I do not use the convection or fan assist if I am baking anything delicate(has lots of air in it) or that needs to rise, like cakes. So in America if I had convection setting I would put my oven at 225F which converts to 107C.
With the color, I suspect the oven temperature is the culprit especially if you are using a convection setting – you might try reducing the temp to get the color you want and be sure to bake in the center of the oven. It’s best served right away. Hi David, with this particular cake, it really should be made and served the same day. Hi Natasha. I preheat the oven on 140 C and bring it down to 130 C when I bake the pavlova. I love cooking with your recipes.
i tweeted https://twitter.com/thepryfamily5/status/509400092701241344 pryfamily5@gmail.com, my fave dessert is either tiramisu or cheesecake Just curious, bc I never really knew that to do with them. In trying to resurrect the mistake I will most likely have to throw it into the compost bin and waste 6 whites. This is a very special anniversary for us.
Thank you so much for being patient!
One really important step to this recipe is to add the sugar GRADUALLY while whisking the egg whites PLUS you should add a pinch of salt to the egg whites before adding the sugar.
I appreciate your detailed instructions.
I’m not a huge dessert eater, but fresh berries with cream are a favorite! Member recipes are not tested in the GoodFood kitchen. Very similar to this one. Also, if you rub little of the mixture between your thing and finger prior to baking, it should feel absolutely smooth. It’s in the oven.
Read more comments/reviewsAdd comment/review. I’m so glad you liked the panna cotta . Thanks for sharing!
I would recommend mixing it a while longer than the recipe calls for, until you get those firm stiff peaks! My favorite would have to be cheesecake, can eat it day after day (; I tweeted here: https://twitter.com/MsTofuFairy/status/511906439863209984. I have had a lot of decadent desserts, but this one just saves yummies & comfort to me!!!
That looks divine! Hopeing to win this amazing giveaway, My favorite dessert would have to be crepes. You can make it in the morning and leave it at room temperature until the evening and just before you serve it, add the cream and toppings. One of my very favorite desserts is Salted Caramel Panna Cotta, which is a basic Italian custard topped with homemade salted caramel, sprinkled with additional flakes of sea salt.
Was wondering if I could add some cocoa to this to make a chocolate version? It takes some time to bake/dry out in the oven, but your oven does all of the work. The mixture will be smooth and glossy. My favorite desert has got to be a Molten Lava Cake.
I think the fruit compote sounds delicious! Spread the mixture onto the prepared tray, spreading the mixture level with a spatula. Sometimes I need to be careful bc it’s light fluffy can make you want to eat one too many slices . The addition of salt, put in after the egg whites have become foamy stage really helps with cutting through the sweetness of the cake. Can I make this using the egg whites from a carton? I have a HUGE sweet tooth and my favorite dessert is cookie dough ice cream!! Looking forward to trying this recipe Here’s the URL for the appropriate tweet: https://twitter.com/lexiquin/status/503577072510701569.
Preheat the Oven to 250˚F. That is a really long time for the egg whites. I love my Fresh Strawberry O’Cheese dessert! If it stands out of the oven for awhile, it can get liquidly at the base.
That is jut a make-ahead option. I hope that makes sense. Your bowl must be absolutely free from moisture or residue grease and your beaters must be perfectly dry.
So mine cracked on the sides.
Bake at 150C for 1 hour.
