Kiwi Fruit Pavlova
Ingredients
8
This summery dessert is perfect for any event, from a fancy dinner party to hosting the latest upcoming sports event. Crisp, fluffy meringues spiced with warming cinnamon are the perfect base for a flavoursome fruit topping. We’ve picked tropical kiwi fruit and sweet peaches here for not only a dose of natural sweetness, but also a pop of colour on the plate. Using tinned peaches means you can take the leftover juice and thicken it with arrowroot powder to create a wonderful glaze for the topping. Easily customisable for any event, this easy yet decadent dessert will seriously impress your guests.
