Passion Fruit Pavlova
*Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. To learn more, please go here.
This passion fruit pavlova is creamy, tart, and light. It's also incredibly easy to make! All you need is some egg whites and sugar to make a meringue, some whipped cream and fruit! It's that easy!
I made a lemon whipped cream and then topped it with fresh passion fruit and strawberries. Makes it perfect for summer because it's not a heavy dessert for a hot day.
Change it up!
I know that passion fruit isn't easy to find, but what's great about pavlova is that you can use whatever kind of fruit you'd like. Top it with blueberries, raspberries, pineapple or even kiwi. Literally you can add whatever your favorite fruit is on top of a pavlova.

Products I recommend
Above are some products that I personally use and recommend for this recipe and to have for everyday use. One I highly suggest is the silpat. This is a great tool to have in your kitchen! It may be on the expensive side but it's a reusable alternative to parchment paper and is worth the investment.

I made 2 pavlova shells by splitting the meringue in half and baking them on separate sheet pans and adding one sugar sheet on one of them before baking. but you can make one large pavlova instead if you'd like.
