This recipe is a Venezuelan version of the original. It has more cocoa, dark chocolate, and on its surface it has strawberries from Colonia Tovar.
This pavlova cake recipe that we share at Puro Chocolate is a Venezuelan version of the one learned by María Fernanda Ossott from Caracas in her pastry classes in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Pavlova, originally from New Zealand, is a dessert made with meringue, on which cream and red fruits are placed, and it is very crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.
Its name honors the famous Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, who was the muse of this recipe.
There are many versions of this dessert in all parts of the world, and the one you can enjoy this time is the tropical one from Ossott.
