Moving nimbly is a challenge for some. However unlike the ballerina this dessert was named after, fancy footwork is not necessary to create a masterpiece like a Pavlova.
Prepared ingredients and equipment, a light touch, a little planning ahead all helps; with a few learned steps, and some careful perusal of El Gusto’s tips.
Once the meringue and whipped cream has been skillfully produced, anyone can assemble this airy dessert; you can absentmindedly yet delicately arrange sliced kiwi and strawberries while calculating how to obtain the final fashion accessory: or you can solemnly and painstakingly referring to every instruction in the recipe and refusing to deviate from the illustration ‘because that’s not how it goes!’
Picture the final dramatic moment of placing a wondrous colourful concoction of heaped meringue and whipped cream before your guests. Now you too can dance your way to culinary success with the airy effortlessness of the famous ballerina. And no doubt gasps of impressed admiration will sigh around the table.
Just as her performance probably produced, too.
