Popular questions:

• Can I use a different fruit instead of peaches?

Yes, you can substitute peaches with other fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, or even mango for a different flavor profile.

• What can I use instead of rose water?

If you don’t have rose water, you can try using a small amount of rose essence or skip it altogether for a more traditional pavlova flavor.

Helpful tips:

• For extra flavor, consider adding a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of your peach and rose pavlova.
• You can pre-slice the peaches and store them in the fridge until ready to use to save time.

Expert Secrets:

• To achieve the perfect texture, ensure your egg whites are at room temperature before beating them for the meringue.
• Adding a touch of cream of tartar to your egg whites can help stabilize the meringue and prevent it from deflating.
