pAVLOVA
Pavlova is an iconic Australian
meringue-based dessert, believed to have
been created in honor of the Russian ballet
dancer, Ánna Pávlova, during one of her
tours to Australia and New Zealand in the
1920's. Pavlova has a crisp crunchy shell,
while the interior remains soft and moist
with a marshmallowy texture.
