Pavlova is an Australian dessert named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. It's made from egg whites and sugar, otherwise known as a meringue but it's crisp on the outer shell while soft, light and marshmallowy on the inside. A pavlova is baked at a very low temperature for a long period of time to slowly dry out the dessert. It is also gluten free as you don't require any flour for the recipe.
