Christmas Wreath Pavlova

December 24, 2018 by Sophia 40 Comments

Christmas pavlova

Pavlovas are the best dessert in my opinion! Christmas wreath pavlovas take it one step further, but anything for Christmas is better, am I right or am I right? This one is way bigger than my normal pavlova with 9 egg whites used rather than the normal 4, but you don’t see me complaining. Bigger is always better. I love to cover my pavlovas in fresh fruit but if you want something a little different try my Coffee Pavlova or you can try my Chocolate Pavlova , both are amazing but its Christmas so make the wreath.

This Pavlova wasn’t actually going to be a pavlova, but I had a massive fail in the kitchen and ended up making scrambled eggs out of my custard that was meant for a tart. So I had all these egg whites left over, what’s a girl to do but make a Pavlova?! When life doesn’t turn out how you imagined there is always something else you can try. I went back to my tried and true the classic pavlova. Sometimes you feel like you are no good at anything, for me even baking, thats when you need to step up and keep going forward and continue to do what you love even when it doesn’t turn out and you fail miserably.

I hope you all have an very Happy Christmas and a great holiday spent with family and friends, with fair too much food. I wish you joy and success in the New Year and hope its all you can imagine, plus more.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mums out there for this coming Sunday. Do you have something nice planned for her? We if not you better hop to it, you can grab her a copy of my book from here. Or you could whip her up a batch of these mini brown sugar scones. I love mini scones, they look so cute sitting on the plate and the extra bonus is you can nearly fit a whole one straight into your mouth all at once, no being a lady here :)…
