A delicate and tender recipe with these Individual pavlovas with red fruits... How can you not fall for these little meringue nests filled with whipped cream and juicy red fruits?
What is pavlova?
This is a dessert of New Zealand origin that is named after a famous Russian ballerina, Anna Pavlova. It was created in her honor in the 1920s when the dancer was touring Oceania... I really like this story - I love dancing and baking - so this dessert was bound to suit me! And I'm not the only one: pavlova has been a huge success in recent years.
These Individual pavlovas with red fruits consist of a meringue disc baked in the oven (crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside, that's what's delicious). On this nest of meringue, we place a nice layer of whipped cream et Some fruit (I opted for red fruits here).
I declined this pavlova recipe in an individual "mini" version because I liked it more visually! And taste-wise, it's just delicious...
How to make these individual pavlovas with red fruits?
We start by making the meringue discs. Here, I opted for the French meringue technique, which is very easy to make. To do this, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt and gradually add the caster sugar as the egg whites rise. Finish with a little lemon and whisk one last time to obtain a nice shiny meringue.

On a baking sheet (with baking paper) we make small nests of meringue using a sleeve pocket and a grooved socket. I use the socket 1M. We draw small nests, that is to say, flat at the beginning then we go up on the edges. This then allows us to fill them easily. We put them in the oven at low heat but for a long time to prevent them from turning brown.
Finally we realize the chantilly whipping cream and sugar. As the meringue is already very sweet, we can have a light hand here. Then we prepare the Red fruits with a little lemon juice. Then we place everything on the cooled meringue nests.

- 4 egg whites
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 cc lemon juice
- 350 g Red fruits
- 400 ml whole liquid cream 30% mg
- 30 g granulated sugar
- 2 cs lemon juice
- Preheat the oven to 120 ° traditional heat.
- Beat 4 egg whites (room temperature) until stiff, with a pinch of salt. We start at medium speed, and as soon as they foam, we add powdered sugar in rain. Finish beating at maximum speed until you obtain a beautiful shiny meringue.
- Add 2tsp lemon juice and beat again.
- Fill a pastry bag with this mixture, fitted with a fluted or round nozzle and place small "nests" of about 7-8 cm in diameter on a baking sheet covered with baking paper.
- (* Tip *: for the nests, first make a complete round of meringue then redo a second level of meringue by just tracing the edge, this will keep the whipped cream inside).
- Bake and immediately reduce the temperature to 110 °, cook for 1 hour.
- Once the time has elapsed, leave to cool in the oven off, with the door ajar for about 40 minutes, this will prevent the meringue nests from cracking ...).
- In a bowl, combine the red fruits and lemon juice. Let stand 10 minutes.
- Whip the whole liquid cream and the powdered sugar into a smooth whipped cream.
- Using a pastry bag or a tablespoon, garnish the meringue nests with whipped cream then decorate with the red fruits. Serve immediately

What is lemon juice used for?
Hello Christiane, the lemon balances the sweetness, you can also choose not to use it. @ soon
Hello, it is better to place the baking sheet at what level? thank you in advance
Hello,
Your pavlovas are super beautiful I would like to try your recipe. In your opinion what is the weight of the 4 egg whites please, thank you.
Thank you for this recipe. Why 4 EGGS in the ingredients: we only use the whites, don't we? Thank you
Hello Nicole, yes we only use whites, you still need 4 eggs: you only keep the white. See you soon :)
Hello, I want to make this dessert for a dinner party where I am invited. What is the best procedure to follow in order to offer a beautiful and good pavlova? Can the meringues be kept the day before being filled?
Thank you for the answer!
Hello Léa, I advise you to make the dressing just before leaving for your guests, because otherwise the whipped cream will soak the meringue. The meringue itself can be made up to 24 hours before. See you soon :)
Hello
I tried your Pavlova recipe for Christmas Eve. It was a first for me and it was very successful!
I divided the quantities by 2 because there were 4 of us and I made a few extra meringues with the rest of the mixture.
Thank you for the recipe which I keep preciously.
Happy New Year
Thank you for your feedback Stéphanie :)
