A Pavlova is a dessert comprising a meringe base and whipped cream and garnished with sliced fruit (typically strawberries, bananas, 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 Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, and was reportedly invented by Herbert Sachse, the chef of a hotel in Perth, in 1935, although New Zealand also claims to have invented it.[1]
