How is it possible that Memorial Day weekend is here? 

I am so excited to kick off the summer months. This winter sure was long, so I am looking forward to barbecues, get-togethers, outdoor concerts, hikes and so much more!

This red, white, and blue berry Pavlova dessert  is light and airy and easy to make. It is the perfect way to celebrate Memorial Day weekend. Take a trip to one of the local farmers markets and see what fruit is in season as you can easily swap out the fruit below with your favorites.

Memorial Day Pavlova

For Pavlova shell:

6 large egg whites

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the topping:

2 pints strawberries

1/2 pint blueberries

1/2 pint blackberries

1/2 pint raspberries

1 pint whipping cream, chilled

1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Beat egg whites in a stand mixer until stiff. 

Add sugar slowly, and then add cornstarch, vanilla and vanilla.

Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat. Pour the egg white mixture into pan. 

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temp to 275 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for an additional 1 hour. 

Turn oven off and let pavlova cool inside the oven for at least 20 minutes and cool for at least 1 hour.

Make whipped cream topping: Place the bowl of a stand mixer in the freezer for 10 minutes. Pour chilled whipping cream and vanilla into the bowl and whip. 

Chill until ready to assemble your Pavlova. 

Assemble: Place the Pavlova shell on a serving platter. Top with whipped cream and berries.

I hope you, your family and friends have an amazing and safe Memorial Day weekend, filled with sunshine, good food and laughter.
