Perfect Pavlova with Kiwifruit and Passionfruit

Recipe courtesy of Cold Storage

This meringue-based dessert is the perfect way to end off a great meal. Crisp crust on the outside and soft on the inside, it is a dessert that is suitable for all palates. If you’re not a fan of kiwifruit or passionfruit, you can substitute them with other fresh fruits such as sliced strawberries, mangos or a combination of fruits, depending on your preference.
