Petite Pavlovas and Playdates
Pavlova’s have become all the rage in recent years (at least as far as social media is concerned). But that doesn’t mean anything, because there’s still a ton of people who have never heard of them. In this post, I am going to show you how to make this light and fluffy gluten-free meringue cookie, that is filled with creamy yummy goodness and fresh fruit. You can whip up a batch for play dates, holidays- like Easter, or as a light treat to satisfy your sweet tooth.

When I knew I had to make a ton of mini pavlovas to share with you, I thought it would be fun to have some friends over for a Petite Pavlova Playdate. So, I invited my friend Tiffini Gatlin of Latched + Hooked and her beautiful daughter Zoe over to help Harper and I make some sweet treats!

Pavlovas are always so awesome to make when there are little ones around. You don’t need many ingredients and it’s not too difficult to assemble, so the kids can help out. Also this is a great dessert for those who have gluten allergies.

Tips to make the best Pavlovas in the world
- Make sure you start off with a sparkly clean mixing bowl. If it has the slightest amount of oil, your pavlova will be a mess!
- Let the meringue baskets cool in the oven. Just turn the oven off and take out about 10-15 minutes later.
- Use a dab of meringue on the back of your wax/parchment paper to keep it laying flat on your baking sheet.
- Use homemade whipped cream if possible
- Use a piping bag to make meringue baskets and to fill the baskets with whipped cream.
