Classic mini pavlova cups

Australians love their classic pavlova; it’s the perfect combination of rich and sweet and tropical and fresh.

They’re light and fluffy and generously topped with fresh seasonal fruit for a delicious fresh finish.

Use ovenproof coffee mugs, ramekins, or ovenproof glass containers to bake the meringue in individual serves.

While this version suggests raspberries or strawberries for the topping, you can use anything you have on hand.

Try mango, kiwi, or lychees for a tasty tropical burst in every bite. Dig in!
