Making pavlova has always felt like magic to me, and this deluxe version is honestly easier than you'd think. The beauty of this dessert is that you probably have most ingredients sitting in your kitchen right now, which keeps costs down while impressing everyone at the table. Egg whites are packed with protein and virtually no fat, making this a lighter indulgence than traditional cream based desserts. The crispy meringue shell comes together quickly, and once you master the technique, you'll find yourself making it again and again. Top it all with whipped cream and tart passion fruit, and you've got something that tastes absolutely restaurant worthy.
