Easy Pavlova Dessert For The Holiday Season
Looking for a simple yet stunning dessert to add to your holiday table? This easy pavlova dessert is just what you’ll want to share with your family and friends.
Pavlova is usually served with whipped cream in the center. These individual pavlova nests that I made for Easter will give you an idea of a traditional pavlova.
Over the years I’ve seen some delicious variations like lemon curd or vanilla custard replacing the whipped cream.
Each variety is flavorful and pretty, and just the encouragement I need to add my own twist!
For this recipe I filled the crispy meringue shell with creamy Greek Gods Greek-Style Yogurt!
Greek-style Chocolate Yogurts!
You can still add a dollop of whipped cream if you would like to stay true to the traditional pavlova.
Although I think that once you take a bite of the rich chocolate and strawberry flavors that I added this will be your favorite dessert!
The Greek Gods have added a delicious trio of chocolate Greek-style yogurts to their product line.
As you can see from this chocolate cherry yogurt dip and this chocolate mocha smoothie bowl these yogurts turn effortless recipes into dazzling fusions of flavors.
Strawberry and chocolate are also two great ingredients together, so it’s no surprise that The Greek Gods included the duo in their line of new chocolate Greek-style yogurts.
It’s the perfect filling for a pavlova!
I served this pavlova dessert for a special friend who came to visit for the weekend.
We lingered over each bite as we chatted and caught up. We just may have enjoyed a second piece!
My Store Doesn’t Carry Chocolate Yogurt
If you can’t find chocolate yogurt in your store, then you can easily make your own.
Here’s how:
Mix 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder with 2 cups of plain or vanilla Greek yogurt. Add a sweetener of your choice (about 1/4 cup).
Alternatively, adding chocolate pudding from scratch will also be a delicious pavlova dessert.
