Pavlova

A type of dessert, inspired, named and used as a celebration for a famous Russian ballerina, Anna Pavlova, when she visited Western Australia during the 1930's. The dessert is made of an airy meringue, formed into a circular shallow bowl shape that becomes a base for toppings of fruits, such as strawberries, kiwi and passion fruit, enclosed in whipped cream, and then drizzled with a sweet fruit sauce.
