A '''Pavlova''' is a [[dessert]] comprising a [[meringe]] base and whipped [[cream]] and garnished with sliced fruit (typically [[strawberry|strawberries]], [[banana]]s, or [[kiwi fruit]]), and sometimes [[passionfruit]] pulp. Other toppings sometimes used include chocolate shavings.
The dessert, popular in [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]], was named after [[Russia]]n [[ballerina]] [[Anna Pavlova]], and was reportedly invented by Herbert Sachse, the [[chef]] of a hotel in [[Perth, Western Australia|Perth]], in 1935, although New Zealand also claims to have invented it.<ref>[http://www.aussie-info.com/identity/food/pavlova.php Aussie-Info.com]</ref>
