Not that hard to make these pavlova’s but it does take some time. Especially these that are filled with a cream that needs to be kept in a fridge after been whipped the day before. As well as baking the pavlova baskets that need to cool down naturally in oven and maybe left overnight. This method is to prevent them from cracking. Although any bake goodies will always be edible and called pudding.
