My favorite little dessert, the pavlova! In family or individual version, it is truly a dessert that wins all the votes. And he's got plenty… A crunchy meringue, smooth whipped cream and seasonal fruits… The winning trio! For this version, I opted for roasted peach, honey & pistachio pavlovas. Peaches to make the summer last a little longer (please!).
I love the smell of roasted peaches, it really smells of the whole kitchen, to my delight. A little extra touch of honey and it's ecstasy! For the small individual meringue nests, I opted for a Swiss meringue: it holds up very well in cooking and turns less yellow than the others I find, and also it can be made without a cooking thermometer.
Plan to make the meringues the night before, so that they have time to cool with the oven off. The next day, all you have to do is whip the cream and roast the peaches with honey.
