Recently I decided to give a go on making Pavlova. I used Donna Hay's recipe. It was simple and relatively easy. However, just as Donna said in the season 2 of Australia's Masterchef, it's a simple recipe where so many things can go wrong.

Essentially the most important thing for me was the ensure that my equipment and utensils were clean and free from any oil (deemed excess oil) that would ruin my egg whites from rising. Plus, I have never done a pavlova so I made sure I was extra careful with the accuracy and amount of ingredients I used.

I'm really happy with the results. The crust is nice and hard but the only problem is how my crust rose so high but my insides were quite low. So my crust would crumble. This could have been because I accidentally added in the a little cornstarch and used a mixer instead of folding it in with a spoon.

Other than that, everything seemed okay :) I tried to make fresh cream from milk, but it failed miserably so I stuck to a caramel sauce with bananas instead :p  I've never tried a pavlova but I do like that it has a good hard crust with a mashmallowy inside :3

 Hugs for everyone~ Try making your own pavlova!
