Pavlova cake is an Australian dessert that is beloved and now made in many countries around the world. The dessert is based on a meringue cake decorated with cream and fruit. In the classic recipe, the cream is made with cream, so this recipe can be called a variation on the “Pavlova” theme, because the cream will also use cottage cheese.
