Making a right pavlova of Christmas
With the Christmas season well and truly underway, we have put together a handpicked selection of delicious pavlova goodness - although we would make a trial one in November, just to see if it's the right recipe for your festive table!
Christmas pavlova
Mary's pavlova is topped with pretty berries, but most fruits work well so feel free to use what's in season. It's a great dessert for Christmas because it can be made well ahead.

Cranberry Pavlova
Test your meringue-making skills with this cranberry Pavlova recipe for a stunning Christmas centrepiece. Chewy meringue is topped with whipped cream and cinnamon-spiced cranberry compote and finished with orange zest. With all these festive flavours, what's not to love.
Little coffee pavlovas
This may seem like a strange combination but it works beautifully. Blackcurrants grow in our garden in Sweden and every year my father makes a tart jam with them, which is great for scooping onto ice cream. Get the recipe
