Dessert
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. The "Anna Pavlova" cake consists of three main components—meringue, whipped cream, and fragrant fruits. This makes the dessert very light and delicate. The "Pavlova" dessert can be made with a single layer of meringue, cream, and fruit, or sometimes two or even three layers are stacked to form a little tower, which looks very attractive. In our country, "Pavlova" has become popular served as individual pastries. Today I'd like to share with you the simplest recipe. It can be served with tea or coffee.
