Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Meringue Base
  • 3 pieces egg whites Ensure they are at room temperature and free from any fat.
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar Helps stabilize the meringue.
  • 1 cup erythritol Can use other keto-friendly sweeteners if preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds flavor to the meringue.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice For brightness in flavor.
Topping
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream Whipped to soft peaks.
  • Fresh berries For topping; choose a variety of your favorites.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add erythritol, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form and the meringue is glossy.
  4. Gently fold in the vanilla extract and lemon juice.
Baking
  1. Scoop the meringue onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into a round disc with an indent in the center.
  2. Bake for about 1 hour. After baking, turn off the oven and let the pavlova cool inside to prevent cracking.
Finishing Touches
  1. While the pavlova cools, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  2. Once cooled, transfer the pavlova to a serving platter and top with whipped cream and fresh berries.

Notes

For best results, whip egg whites in a clean, dry bowl and avoid baking on humid days. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
