Why does my mouth start watering just by saying the name of this dessert? No, this dessert was not named after that famous psychiatrist, Pavlov, who did experiments to get his dogs stomachs to react after hearing a sound. But that doesn’t mean my stomach won’t react, because this is one amazing combination of berries, whipped cream rolled in a crunchy meringue! Perfect for the summer. This dessert won’t hold it’s crunch long, so you should eat it fairly quickly. I expect that won’t be a problem!

- Cut a slice off the roll and place on individual serving dish. Garnish with chopped mint, more berries and add some sauce as desired.

- Sauce
- Add simple syrup and mixed berries into a sauce pan. Over medium heat stir syrup and berries until they lightly break down.
- Another option is to add berries and some sugar to a mixing bowl to “macerate” the berries. (See note below.)
Notes
- Macerating is the process of breaking the fruit down by sprinkling the fruit with sugar which will help draw liquid out of the berries. This “syrup” of the liquid and the broken down berries can be poured over your slices of pavlova.
