    Crispy and sweet meringue and soft Mascarpone filling are combined in this sophisticated yet easy mini pavlovas dessert that will surprise and delight your guests.

    Be ready to indulge in a crispy, airy and fluffy goodness. These Mini Pavlovas with Mascarpone and Fresh Berries are absolutely mouthwatering.

    4rth of July is right around the corner. Have you planned out your menu yet?:) Well, regardless of whether you celebrate it or not, there's always the right time for some good yummy dessert. Isn't it?

    The first time I made meringues was like 3 or 4 years ago. They were a good treat, but very basic. It was my first time attempt after all.  This time, however, I went a little further and took a basic meringue recipe up a notch. Remember my Instagram pic from a month ago? That's where I got an inspiration for my patriotic mini pavlovas.

    No matter if it's hot or cold outside, I'm always up for a cup of hot tea and some good reads. Btw, don't you think those meringues on the cover look mouthwatering?) Can't wait to make them.

    These mini pavlovas are a bomb. As soon as you take a bite, you're hooked.

    Be ready to indulge in a crispy, airy and fluffy goodness. These Mini Pavlovas with Mascarpone and Fresh Berries are absolutely mouthwatering.

    If you've never made meringues before, don't be scared. They are really easy to make. You just have to remember a couple simple rules:

    1. Egg whites should be at room temperature;
    2. Do not open the oven until the end of the baking time.

    These little cuties exceeded all my expectations.  They were delicate, crispy and light. It's a definitely melt in your mouth delight.
