pavlova
Cream-topped meringue dessert
A pavlova is a meringue-based dessert with a crisp exterior and soft, marshmallow-like interior, typically topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit.
The dish is popular in Australia and New Zealand, both of which claim to have invented it: She made a pavlova with kiwi and passionfruit for Christmas dinner. (Capitalized Pavlova is the Russian ballerina.)
