Make Ahead Mini Strawberry Pavlovas

These pavlovas are one of my favorite make-ahead spring desserts. In the land of brunches and get togethers, being able to make things ahead is key. I love waking up the day of a get together and having my stuff together. I love doing a few things here and there and not stressing. The only real way to ensure this is a reality is making one of the components ahead. These meringues take a bit of time in the oven— 2 hours to be exact.  So it’s best to make them the day before.

These pavlovas are an absolute crowd please because they’re crispy on the outside and sort of chewy on the inside. You can also mix any jam you like into the fluffy whipped cream. It makes this dessert so light and refreshing. Perfect for spring!
