What is Pavlov?

Pavlova is a dessert that consists of a cake with a whipped cream and often includes slices of fruit at the top. It was invented in the 1920s or 1930s and is named for Russian ballerinas, Anna Pavlova. However, the sources are in dispute as to whether the dessert has actually been invented in Australia or New Zealand. Keith Money wrote in Ballerina's biography that the chef in Wellington, New Zealand, created food in her honor when she visited the restaurant in 1926; The descendants of Australian chef Bert Sachs say that a recipe has been created. The English chef Celebrit, Nigella Lawson, popularized him all over the UK; In his many cookbooks he has various dessert recipes, including chocolate, passion and brown sugar Pavlov. Food is often under luxury restaurants across Britain, Australia and New Zealand and can be purchased individually at cakes. Pre -cooked meringue shell can be purchased in grocery stores to be taken home and decorated.

Because Pavlova is mainly made of egg whites and sugar, it is a relatively light and low -calorie dessert. When cooking properly, the outer side of the shell will be crunchy, inside is a marshmallow texture. Shell tends to burst while cooking, but because the whole cake is then covered with whipped cream, it should not be visible when serving a bowl. Standard icing includes slices of strawberries, kiwi, raspberries or peach.

It is possible to prepare Pavel's day before serving if the chefs leave the shell in the oven overnight after the heat is switched off. When the cake was decorated with whipped cream, it can be in the fridge for a day or two; But they lose their crispness when the humidity from the cream sucks into the shell.
