This berry pavlova dessert is light and airy and easy to make so it is the perfect way to use all of the berries that you will find in the farmers market as we round up the summer.

Berry Pavlova Dessert

You may not know what a Pavlova is but is a light dessert shell similar to a meringue. Crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. You can change the flavoring of the pavlova shell if you like by simply swapping out the extract flavor. I use almond extract as well and the results are just as delicious!
