Pavlova is like a cloud, with a delicate sweetness and a soft, marshmallowy center. It's the perfect gluten-free dessert for those looking for something light and airy. Whether you serve it with lactaid-laced cream or on its own with fresh fruit, Pavlova is the ideal sweet ending for any meal, especially when catering for gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegetarian guests.

I first experienced this iconic dessert while visiting family friends in Australia. Pavlova has a crisp, crunchy exterior, but a soft, chewy inside that makes each bite irresistible.
