This was my frst time making Pavlova and I was surprised to find out how easy it was to make. The shell was so light and delicate. I filled it with lots of whipped cream and then topped it off with fresh strawberries, raspberres and blueberries. I took this to our 4th of July cookout and everyone raved about this tasty dessert. I'm looking forward to trying it with a variation of fruit toppings. Made for July 2010 Aus/NZ Make My Recipe Tag Game.

You've outdone yourself this time, Pat! I made your recipe exactly as written, and DH and DS declared it the best dessert ever. Can I give it 10 stars? We loved the thin, crunchy shell and the marshmallowey cream that formed inside. I filled the shell with whipped cream and topped it with frozen, thawed mixed fruit, as well as a few slices of fresh kiwi. This is a real showstopper of a dessert -- so delicious, and makes an impressive presentation as well. Thanks for sharing this recipe!!

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
