Elegant “Pavlova”: how to prepare (and eat correctly!) the most desired protein dessert

This dessert is named after the famous Russian ballerina and really resembles the balloon tutu of the legendary Swan. The secret of the cake lies in the balance of flavors and textures. How to make Pavlova yourself? It’s easier than you think!

The meringue of a good Pavlova is crispy but soft. The cake is made in the form of a basket, in which the filling is traditionally placed – cream cheese and fresh berries.

The question often arises of how to eat Pavlova correctly, because the meringue crumbles a lot. There is a method legalized by the label: you must take two utensils, a fork and a spoon. Use the edge of a spoon to cut off pieces, and push them with a fork (and don’t leave the berries with the cream on the plate). You can lightly mix the cream cheese and berries with the protein part so that the meringue becomes slightly moist and easier to grab with a fork. In a word, the main thing is not to bite into the cake with your teeth, but to use cutlery, and then everything will turn out wonderfully!
