Keto Christmas Pavlova

Keto Christmas baking ideas can be fun for the entire family! This lovely Christmas pavlova is a dessert everybody will enjoy, whether they're doing Keto or not. It's a light and airy holiday treat perfect for the festive season. This Keto Christmas pavlova has a marshmallow-soft inside, and it's amazingly crisp on the outside. It's topped with tender whipped cream and decorated with your favorite low-carb berries. Preparing a perfect pavlova is not difficult, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Adding the sweetener too quickly can cause your pavlova to deflate. Also, skipping lemon juice is another common mistake. A mild acid will give your pavlova its volume. You can replace it with cream of tartar (you will need ½ teaspoon for this recipe). Finally, beating the egg whites properly is crucial for perfect results. Not beating the eggs long enough or beating them on a low speed will give you a soggy mixture instead of the stiff peaks you want. Beating the whites for too long will also give you a grainy and dry consistency and will affect your pavlova. Please note that the total preparation time includes the time needed to cool the meringue.

Can I prepare my pavlova in advance?

Yes, this recipe can be prepared a couple of days in advance, which makes it a fantastic option for holidays. However, for the best results, the whipped cream topping should be prepared the same day.

Why does it take so long to cool the meringue?

Meringue cracks easily when it cools too quickly. It is very important to leave it in the oven after baking (the oven should be turned off). This will help avoid any cracking.
