Core Ingredients for Making the Recipe

To prepare these festive Christmas Pavlova Nests, you’ll need simple ingredients that come together to create something truly special.

For the Pavlova Nests

• 4 large egg whites, at room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice
• A pinch of salt

These ingredients create the signature pavlova texture—crisp on the outside, soft and pillowy inside.

For the Whipped Cream Filling

• 1½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

The whipped cream adds richness and softness, balancing the sweetness of the meringue.

For Toppings (Christmas-Style)

• Fresh raspberries
• Fresh strawberries or sliced strawberries
• Red currants or pomegranate arils
• Optional: white chocolate shavings, toasted nuts, or powdered sugar
