Pavlova is a dessert popular in New Zealand and Australia, but it’s not as common here in the States. A texture lover’s dream come true, pavlova is made from egg whites slowly baked in a relatively cool oven. The egg whites take on a chewy, crisp texture on top, a soft marshmallow texture inside, and a crunchy, crisp texture around the edges. That’s three completely different textures in one single bite. The crunchy edges are just like meringue cookies.
