Pavlova (food)
dessert / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pavlova is a meringue-based dessert named after the Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova.[1] It is a cake with a crispy crust and soft, light inside.[2]
People believe the dessert was made to celebrate one of the dancer's tours to Australia and New Zealand in the 1920s. The two countries have argued for a long time over where it was created.[2]
The dessert is very popular in both countries and often eaten on special occasions. It is usually served with cream and fruit.
