The mini Pavlovas were the dessert of our family Christmas meal (check it out here). These fluffy and light as air sweets were definitely a hit on our table. If you want to read more about the origin of this dessert you can read here more.
In my version I used chocolate meringue and my beloved red fruits (raspberries to be more exact). The crème is Nutella based and so so yummy.
So, how do you like my photos? Can you any difference? Santa came for me early (in Greece Santa comes during New Year’s Eve) and brought me a fantastic micro lence for my camera!! So excited !!
With this recipe I would like to wish you Happy New Year and all the best for you and your loved ones. Remember life is short, lick the bowl!! See you on 2016!
