What is the difference between meringue and pavlova

Although pavlova and meringue are incredibly similar, there is a slight difference. They are both made with egg white but meringue is dry and crispy throughout, whereas pavlova is crispy on the outside and soft and marshmallow-y on the inside. This homemade pavlova recipe is the perfect no fail, fluffy on the inside kind of pavlova.

How far ahead can you make a pavlova with berries

Pavlovas are great to make ahead of time. You can whip up an easy pavlova 3-4 days before serving. Make sure to store the pavlova in a cool dry place. You want to make sure there is no moisture around the pavlova as that will soften the meringue. Once ready to serve, simply add the whipped cream and toppings just before serving.
