Pavlovas by Tara @ Noshing With The Nolands

I am here to celebrate Jaime's Blogiversary with this wonderful dessert. Jaime and I met through #SundaySupper. She has a wonderful blog as you already know and I am honored to be here to help her celebrate!!

I love making pavlovas in any shape or size. They are a bit healthier than some other desserts as they are very low in fat but who really cares about that when it comes to dessert and celebrating. I just love them and I love the fresh fruits you can add. This time of the year mangoes are looking good and pomegranates are still around. They make a gorgeous pairing and are a simple make ahead dessert that will wow your guests. Kid's love meringues too and they are very easy to make.

Happy Blogiversary Jaime!!!

For the Pavlovas

4 egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 tsp. vanilla
pinch of cream of tartar
1 cup berry sugar

Preheat oven to 225F. With a mixer beat egg whites until frothy and then add vanilla and cream of tartar. Continue beating adding the sugar in very slowly, maybe a Tbsp or two at a time. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form and the egg whites are glossy. Pipe or drop dollops onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or Silpats, eight large 4-5" rounds and 8 small 1 1/2" tops. Make extra tops if you have more meringue left over. Bake for 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours until desired doneness. I like them a bit chewy inside.

For the topping

2 mangoes, sliced
1 pomegranate, seeds removed, juice reserved
Grenadine syrup, optional

Add a bit of grenadine to the pomegranate seeds and juice if they are not sweet enough. Just before serving put a large meringue on a dessert plate and top with mangoes and pomegranate seeds. Place the little lid on top and drizzle with the pomegranate juice. Serve at once.
