I had my first Pavlova at my Aunt’s house and fell in love with this simple and light dessert. She made it for me while I was visiting her because I have 3 cousins in my family who have Celiac Disease and this is their go-to dessert.  I was super skeptical at first, but after my first bite, I was hooked!

 Describing this is one of the hardest things to do because it’s texture and flavor are such a variety of things. This dessert is chewy, crispy and airy.

They are not dense in the slightest. The back up with a harder shell but the inside is chewy. It is the right amount of sweet flavor and tastes absolutely amazing!

    Made this today and it turned out great! Served it with fresh berries and whipped cream. Found your recipe as I didn't have cream of tartar and yours used cornstarch. Thanks for the inspiration. It is much easier than it looks :)
