Great pav -- pavlova, that is. I took a shortcut. Made it for a teenage gathering and topped it with toasted almonds only. I was surprised by how many said they hadn't had pavlova in ages. Good grief, these are Aussies. and should have it all the time. They loved it. Me, too. Made for Zaar World Tour. Thanks Sussan.

Wanting to make this for some time now, and after watching Geoffry Rush on television last week it all the more enticed me. So picking out your recipe to try, I went to work, which is no work at all making this dessert. Took a little over one hour to bake up at 300 degrees, I let it cool completely and placed in a tin for overnight keeping. Next day whipped up some Nutri Whip and used also 3 bananas, 2 kiwi, and just a few tablespoons of passionfruit from a can. Next time hopefully I will be able to get fresher fruits...everyone enjoyed their late afternoon tea today that is for sure. Thanks for the recipe. Oh ad I have seen recipes that have a teaspoon cornstarch along with the vinegar, and next time I am going to add that to see what it does in your recipe. Again thanks for the lovely dessert.
