You may have overindulged on your Christmas dinner, but there's always room for dessert. Especially when it's pavlova. The Kiwi classic is a staple on many a Christmas table.
Here are 10 of the best pavlova recipes from bite.co.nz:
• Timmy's pavlova with vanilla honey yoghurt cream and strawberry compote
Every Christmas, Peter Gordon's mother Timmy makes her pavlova with vanilla honey yoghurt cream and strawberry compote. He says, "My mum makes, without doubt, the best pavlova ever. I should know as I eat at least one whenever I come back to NZ - this year I managed to get through my share of at least six."
Light and fluffy pavlovas with an espresso hit and coconut in the mix. Serve with pawpaw, mandarin and more toasted coconut on top for a tropical twist.
